Did you clone your old drive to the new M.2 SSD or did you rebuild the OS.
Since my machine is pretty new, I am hoping I can just pop in the new M.2 SSD and clone the drive over. Once I am certain everything is stable I will use the 1TB 7200 HD for backups and file storage.

Hmm I am not sure about an NVME drive working in the Alienware 15R2.. Hopefully someone else here can answer that or Dell support could.
I do know that these drives work, I have two of them in my 15R2:

I currently have them striped together and get a bit over 1Gbps read and writes to them.

Thanks for the suggestion! I ordered one.

I had just done a clean install of Windows.
