Select “Reset BCD Configuration” then “Perform Action” to begin recovery. You may see a dialog like the one below asking you for your boot drive – pick the letter of your Windows Vista drive, then hit OK to continue. EasyBCD will reset your BCD data and re-configure your bootloader correctly
I never used EasyBCD, but try:
Go to the EasyBCD installation folder, which is usually located in Crograms files or Crogram files(x86)
Double-click the uninstall.exe or uninst000.exe file to start the uninstallation process
Else from Control Panel, from there uninstall it to revert back to original state before

I don't know for sure if it's MBR but only in such a system can I install Windows.
You're right! I have the full version of AOMEI Partition Assistant and I'll do it tomorrow but I'll ask you if: if AOMEI Partition Assistant wants to convert logical partition E to bootable partition, in my case it's. E to C, what will happen to the partitions after that? What letters will they have after that and what order will be in the partition view when I want to look through some disk program?
Where will partition E be after that, when it changes to C?
Sorry, I don't know English well and uncle Google helps me
----------------------------
In this case E will convert to C and convert to bootabl, and if not mistaken drive letter for the old E partition will remain hidden until you assign a letter to that via AOMEI again .. the old E will not be erased but only not ..

AFAIK Windows 11 wymaga partycji UEFI, nie MBR. Może jednak być możliwe zainstalowanie Windows 11 na dysku MBR.

I don't know where you learned this, but you're wrong, you're making a fool of me and a wise man of yourself!
On my disk in MBR I have 3 Windows systems, one Win11 as the primary system and two Win11 and Win10 on other partitions of this disk (SSD) for testing purposes and everything works OK!
I won't fight a Polish-American battle here, but I'll show you in a screenshot how it looks on my disk. My disk is in MBR and that suits me :)
Also read this:
Windows 11 requires GPT instead of MBR
When configuring a new hard disk or installing a system on it, every user faces a choice. Windows asks to choose one of two formats: MBR (Master Boot Record) and GPT (GUID Partition Table). The above does not mean much not only to most consumers with little technical knowledge, but also to many informed users. In short: MBR is an older technology, although still widely used, and GPT is newer, less common.
How is MBR different from GPT? First of all, MBR limits the user to creating a maximum of four primary partitions on the disk, with a capacity of up to 2 TB. GPT, on the other hand, allows the creation of any number of partitions with a maximum size of 256 TB each.
You write that: You can download any version of Windows 11 as an ISO here: link
I don't bother with such ISOs, because I haven't yet shaken off Pegasus, which has been plaguing the country, and such ISOs are a breeding ground for all sorts of "worms" that lurk in the system. I'm all about proper Windows modifications
