It has been resolved. Apparently Samsung Magician failed to complete the cloning accurately. Reinstalled original ssd, wiped the 2tb ssd  and used Macrium to complete cloning successfully.

If you don't mind, just replace and reinstall from scratch, from what I seen Macrium doesn't offer free version anymore. And installing from scratch is much better, you avoid a lot of problems that may come from old system. Windows will activate automatically when you are online.

Unfortunatelly we need the old system cloning... I found Macrium Reflect for free - older version. But how I could clone the old ssd I meed a pendrive in the usb connector to copy to and then I put the new ssd in the Ser6 and I use an usb running Macrium which will copythe old ssd system from usb pendrive to the new nvme ssd?
Sorry for my english.

You need a working system for Macrium, so you have to clone the old ssd on the new nvme, after that you expand the partition or make new partitions after new system boots. You can use a sata/nvme adapter for this, which is on usb3. Is very important to use an adapter that knows both protocols.

You need an external rack, on USB3, that knows nvme protocol.

Something like this:
