Hi everyone,

I have a Kano PC that normally runs Windows.
I was trying to install Raspberry Pi OS using a microSD card reader, but I did not install anything onto the internal drive.

After that, my Kano now boots to EFI Shell instead of Windows.

In BIOS (Aptio Setup Utility):

Windows Boot Manager is NOT listed

Only EFI Shell shows up as a boot option

I have not formatted or reset the system

I want to recover Windows without losing my data

Does anyone know how to restore the Windows boot entry or re-detect the internal drive?

Thanks for any help.

My questions:

How can I exit EFI Shell and boot back into Windows?

Did installing Raspberry Pi OS on the microSD change the boot order or EFI settings?

Is there a way to repair the boot entry without resetting or wiping the system?

Any help would really mean a lot. Thanks! Sorry I now this is not all about raspberry pi but I did not know were to go
