Sure, you can transfer the Windows 10 installation from your current SSD to the new NVMe drive. Just follow the steps for copying the installation media to the new storage device.

You'd have to duplicate the previous storage onto the new one... https://www.macrium.com/reflectfree The free edition allows cloning for personal use. If you're ready to spend, Paragon provides a solid option at a reasonable price https://www.paragon-software.com/home/dc...eshop.html

This approach should work for booting your UEFI installation.

Yes, a duplicate will finish as a perfect 1:1 copy, meaning both copies are identical. This might cause issues if the drives differ in size, but usually you can resolve it by adjusting the partition in Windows. You can't place a drive onto one that's smaller than it—either the new drive must match the source size or be larger.

Sure, you can clone your 256GB drive to a larger 500GB drive.

Yes, after creating a clone your 500GB will appear as 256GB in Windows. Use disk management to resize the partition and recover the missing space.
