I suggest running 'blkid' and 'efibootmgr -v', and double-check that
the UUID for the CentOS boot entry matches the UUID of the EFI disk.
You can delete and recreate the boot entry with 'efibootmgr', which
will likely solve the problem.
It depends on the UEFI implementation, but when all the boot entries
are wrong (UUID changed due to new disk) sometimes it has a fallback
to find the Windows bootloader and choose it.
