First of all, make sure you remove the USB from which you installed Windows, when it is about to restart the first time (after copying files). If it still won’t boot your new installation then yes, it’s probably because Windows Setup sees the iSSD (ExpressCache) as the boot drive and places it’s 100MB SYSTEM partition on it.
Here’s the easiest fix if that happens:
1) Let it boot into Windows Setup again (ie leave that USB in). Once you get past the welcome screen, hit Shift-F10 to get a command prompt.
2) Use XCOPY /E /H /R to copy everything (including hidden files) from that SYSTEM partition (on the iSSD) to the partition where you installed Windows.
Before copying, use DIR /A commands to determine what the drive letters are for those partitions: DIR /A C: and DIR /A D: and DIR /A E: etc. The SYSTEM partition (on the iSSD) should contain a BOOT folder and a bootmgr file. The partition where you installed Windows should contain, you guessed it, a Windows folder 😀
