Clone HDD to nvme SSD

 1. use free 30 day trial of Macrium (https://pureinfotech.com/clone-windows-10-hard-drive-ssd-macrium-reflect/). select all necessary partitions you want to clone from the source drive.

2. After cloning is complete, use Easy BCD to add the clone drive as default boot drive. You can remove the old drive as a boot option in easybcd as well, otherwise windows gives you a option to select which drive to boot from every time you restart.
