Are the boot options -- particularly the drive settings (AHCI or IRST, and UEFI/secure boot or legacy mode) the same as they were when Windows was initially installed, or have they been changed?
I cannot answer exactly, but I can assume that the settings were not changed. This is because the laptop was minimally refurbished when I bought it in August, and the sellers – which were definitely honest tech guys – did not tell me about any changes in the drive's settings.
One more fact goes 'for' this assumption – because windows was reinstalled shortly before I bought the laptop.

The problem was with the SSD. Changing it helped me for now.
Thank you!

Run a full diagnostic (F12 at powerup).
Is the SSD showing in setup (F2 at powerup)?

Yes, it is. Along with its full space (GB).
Performing the diagnostics (ePSA) on the SSD alone – it is also treated as okay.
