Never had a problem when cloning. After cloning and removing the source drive I recommend to boot from the Macrium Reflect or Win installation drive and do a boot repair to correct the partition ID.
Well this is not going well at all. I imaged the drive and it booted up right away and then blue screened in under a minute. PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
What failed: IOMap64.sys
I can re-image my original if I remove the Nvme and the system is restores, but I can't boot from the Nvme no matter what I have tried for the last 4 hours.
Are you using the Windows tool or a third party?
You likely won't get too much assistance on this forum if you are using Windows own imaging as most have changed to other less problematic software.

The last time I replaced a hard drive I made a Macrium image of the old drive and restored that to the new SSD.
I just did another restore and let windows format both drives. It restored to the original ssd and the Nvme is showing up in disk management. I will download and give the macrium a shot at this.

Do I want the PE components or just the installer?
Some old MB don't boot from M.2 slot. Some requires to have EFI-GPT.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped. After starting the clone with Macrium and getting some sleep from a long night shift and 7 hours of frustation, when I woke up and rebooted, problem solved. Could they make those screws any smaller? I lost a stand off in my power supply. Anyways, you all kept me going and now I'm rather pleased with my new drive.
