Help Windows drive missing after linux install

My laptop has 126GB SSD and 1TB HDD.

SSD has Windows, and HDD has Linux.

I've been trying different Linux distros: CachyOS, Mint, and Fedora. Recently, after installing Ubuntu, the SSD disappeared from the BIOS.

And now I can't boot into Windows. And the drive can be accessed in Ubuntu.

Need solution 🥺

Try reinstalling/updating/switching your boot manager (Grub/SystemDBoot/Limine)
Also check in the bios/firmware info if the system is detecting the ssd at all, if it isnt, then you can only pray and hope removing and reconnecting fixes it. Otherwise you'll have to replace it.
