If you have cloned each partition from the old to the new disk, then the new 
disk should work exactly as the old disk does.  I mean, it should have the 
same kernel, the same / filesystem, the same modules, etc.

Since the new disk is an nvme drive, you will need additional drivers - should 
these not be available in the old kernel.

Do you have both disks connected to the MoBo when you're trying to boot from 
the new disk?

Have you changed the UUIDs on the new partitions?

Have you installed the boot manager on the new disk (if using MBR)?
