Moving w10-GPT x64-uefi Samsung SATA boot to (same spec) Samsung MVNe M2 (inaccessible boot error)

Background:
I been running an ASUS 170A with Samsung 500gb single partition AHCI SATA 950EVO drive as win10-v1803, GPT UEFI. I have Acronis 2017-8058. The system has been fast and 100% rock solid. I always make full system image backups and verify. Im very familar using ATI and have prepared and sucessfully using an ATI/2017-8058 MVP boot media to restore full tibs...never an issue. Recently I decided to upgrade the 850/SATA drive to a Samsung 970, 500GB,drive. My Asus 170A mobo is equipped with an NvMe slot. Im on the latest bios. Seems only 1 bios option needs to be altered...that is to specify that the M2 uefi slot will be used (as opposed to be Sata Express), and care must be taken to avoiding using certain SATA ports, which are "shared" with the MvNe port.
So I started by still booting my 850 SATA SSD and connecting the fresh out of the box NvMe too. System booted find (off Sata drive). When to DiskManagement to be sure system could see it...it did as unallocate.
At that point I disconnected the (old) 850 SATA SSD, then booted the ATI 2017-8058 MVP rescue media in UEFI mode and performed a full image restore to the new 970 Uefi NvMe drive. The rescue system appeared to work perfectly. However, when the system was restared the Win 10 boot failed with an "INACCESSIBLE BOOT ERROR" Win 10 startup repair or similar tools are no help.
My guess at this point is that the RESTORED ATI full image (which was created when the SATA SSD was in place) is missing the ??? needed NvMe driver? Since the MvMe drive IS recognized in the uefi bios and also using the MVP 18.2 PE rescue media (and as a fresh device even when connected the the original SATA booted system)...well I'm thinking that perhaps the Win Boot NvMe driver is missing on the restored (now unbootable) system....
If that does make sense...I cannot imagine how I would inject that driver into the RESTORED, yet unbootable Win system? IDEAS PLEASE.
