Product: Omen 15-5113dx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am atttempting to upgrade to a larger SSD from the 256GB that came with this computer. I believe this change also is from using SATA to NVME. Since my computer only has 1 M.2 slot for the SSD, I had to create an image on an external hard drive using Macrium Reflect. I then installed the new Intel 760p SSD into the M.2 slow and booted to the Macrium software using a USB drive I created with the software. Then I was able to restore the image to the new SSD drive. However, I get a boot error, and the new drive also doesn't appear in the BIOS boot Manager. When I reinstall the old drive, it is not being recognized by the BIOS for booting, even though I was able to transfer data to it in the M.2 slot using Macrium Reflect.  I did also run the "Fix Windows Boot Problems" in Macrium Reflect, and that said it was successful, but did not fix my error.

Does this mean that I have a bad drive? or is there a setting that is needed in the BIOS or elsewhere to allow the new drive to be recognized? 

Note: The old drive utilizes SATA, while the new drive interface is PCIe NVMe 3.1 x4. This leads me to guess that there may just be something in the BIOS that may need changed to allow for NVMe to work.......(Just a guess, and if correct I could use help figuring out how to make it work)
