Hi there.

Was your Windows installation on a separate drive, or the same one you have macOS on?

That is probably why you have a problem.

If you just replace the existing EFI folder with the one from the USB UniBeast installer you will loose all the Windows boot files (assuming you installed the UEFI version of Windows).

Windows will still be installed but not bootable.

Get more guidance from the link @P1LGRIM posted for you earlier.

As I, and @P1LGRIM suggested, please read the guidance.

If you are unable to do that, then you will need to:

1) replace the EFI folder you copied onto your main 2TB SSD with the original that did boot Windows okay.

2) once you have done that mount the EFI partitions on both the UniBeast USB and the SSD, then copy across from UniBeast to the SSD ONLY the Clover EFI sections. Do not disturb the Windows folders.

3) Reboot and test.
