I have an MSI MEG Z490 Godlike motherboard. Your software doesn't recognize it.

Likely not supported either, but we'll see. Please run the following command on a command prompt and comment here the output:

wmic path Win32_BaseBoard get Manufacturer

Manufacturer
Acidanthera

I'm running Windows on a separate SSD on a Hackintosh machine. macOS 11.5.2, Win 10 Pro, Zorin OS 16 Pro all on separate SSDs. My bootloader is Opencore 0.7.2, which is where the Acidanthera is coming from.

I'm not going to bother making MSIRGB somehow recognize that you're running a Hackintosh, if that's even possible. OpenCore apparently overrides information about your motherboard.

Is there some way you can boot Windows through Windows' own bootloader, without going through OpenCore?

Can't you just boot Windows without going through OpenCore? Or does OpenCore modify the Windows bootloader files?
