Can I put ssd m.2 Nvme (WD black sn850 500GB) on Omen17-w253dx?
Because, I cloned Windows from old ssd m.2 sata to new ssd m.2 nvme (WD black sn850 500GB) but it can't find Windows.

Hi:
The only information I can provide is that chapter 1 page 3 of the service manual indicates that both SATA and NVMe SSD's are supported, so the WD Black SN850 NVMe SSD should work.
I suggest trying to clean install W10 on the SSD and see if that works.
Make a bootable USB installation flash drive with the media creation tool from the link below.
Download Windows 10 (microsoft.com)
Note that the WD Black is a PCIe Gen 4 SSD and your notebook's M.2 slot is only Gen 3, so a Gen 4 NVMe SSD will not run at its maximum advertised sequential read/write speeds.
