Note: NVMe drives often use RAID for the SATA controller mode in the BIOS for improved performance. If all looks to be good after booting to Windows, then the original HDD can be formatted and used as a data drive etc.Important! Shutdown the computer, remove the HDD drive before attempting to boot from the NVMe SSD (cloned drive).Perform the clone from the HDD to the NVMe SSD.Otherwise, you will need to create the Windows PE version of the Acronis Rescue Media to boot the computer from to perform offline cloning. If using the Acronis Active Clone feature, then you will need ATI 2020 installed to do so.Check the UEFI BIOS settings, in particular for the Boot priority settings - you will need to change these later to boot from the NVMe SSD copy of 'Windows Boot Manager'.Make a full Disk backup of the working scenario to an external backup drive.Install the new NVMe SSD and test booting from the HDD to Windows 10, allowing any new hardware to be found, device drivers installed etc.The process I would suggest trying here would be: Given you are dealing with brand new computers, then a further assumption is that these will all be UEFI / GPT machines as required for NVMe as boot devices. The caveats here are that all the device drivers required for the NVMe drive are already installed before attempting a clone, and that you make a full Disk backup of the HDD for safety reasons. Clay, if these new computers have only a vanilla Windows 10 OS install, then it should be possible to use the Acronis Active Clone feature to clone the SATA HDD to a new NVMe SSD.
