In short: how do I transfer a Windows 10 Home edition from an internal HDD to a newly installed M.2 SSD?
Notice that the new installation would NOT be in the same port. This is a laptop with two internal hard drives. The other answers are about replacing the drive into the same slot.
Details: given a Lenovo laptop with a 500 GB, 7200 RPM, 2,5", SATA3 and Windows 10 Home on it, I'd like to install a secondary internal 256GB, M.2 2280, NVMe, Opal 2.0 on it and run Windows 10 from it. There's also a Linux installation on the HDD but there's no real need to transfer this too and I believe it won't be a headache.
All the files in the HDD are less than 100GB.
Could I just boot into a Linux live CD and clone byte by byte the internal HDD into the SDD?
Does Windows have some official tool for that?

Most drives come with utilities to image across. Did yours? Also, there are a significant number of guides, and even questions here, about this. Have you looked those up and tried them?

All the major SSD manufacturers give you access to cloning software or you can use something like Macrium Reflect Free. Crucial guide is here youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLEvIPPJR6an86Tiner0ghBePVhUOv2pb
