Original Question:

I have Catalina working on Gigabyte Z490 G + Intel core i9-10900K but when I place the EFI folder on the partition and reboot it does not run. If I load the USB stick with the EFI folder and the install Catalina and select in the boot option start from the USB stick Catalina boots up. Leaves me a bit befuddled how to get the Catalina loaded without the USB stick.
