Hello,
The Windows boot process is different for legacy versus the boot process for UEFI so no the PC will not boot to Windows.
How to enable UEFI

Thank you for posting in the Q&A forum.
If your disk is currently using GPT, the storage boot option control option should be set to UEFI or your computer may not boot normally from the disk. Since it's more a hardware issue you can confirm with your motherboard manufacturer.
Best Regards,

2024-04-29T07:27:18.2066667+00:00 So I've decided to install windows 11 on my USB I've heard that while installing it will automatically set bios to UEFI and the disk to GPT
