You either need a USB NVMe adapter to hold one of the drives while you image directly, or you need an external drive with enough capacity to hold an image of the current internal drive. You can use any number of software packages to do the imaging - the free version of Macrium Reflect is easy to use, reliable and will do the job.
Probably not. Macrium Reflect is pretty good at creating system-specific recovery media. If you're imaging a default Dell installation, the drive will be in IRST/RAID ON mode -- meaning it uses the Intel drivers -- not a manufacturer-specific driver.

Ok and what about the drive I use, will I need to slipstream special drivers for it in as it is a different brand?

OK, I cloned the M2 to a USB and then from USB to my new M2 drive but it wont boot.
It defaults into the HTTP booter.
Is there something special I need to do to get it to boot as normal.

When I press F12 and point it to the WD drive, I get a Windows Error.
