did you build boost yourself or download a pre-built package? What subdirectory are the import libraries (.lib) located in? Do you set any boost-finder variables before calling find_package(Boost)? I have at times in the past had to set BOOST_LIBRARYDIR when the package I was using had an odd lib file location, but I don’t think that’s typically needed.
