I looked at that article but it didn't mention the odd BIOS that I have. It's the Aptio BIOS by American Megatrends. One thing I've considered is just pulling both drives out of the system and plugging them in via usb to my other system and then using the Samsung clone thing in that system's OS to clone the disks...

There isn't. It's just those three options. I could use the Samsung program inside of the OS, but I feel like cloning the HDD while Windows is running from it won't work. Should I connect both drives to another computer and clone it from there?

I'm trying to use EaseUS' program to clone but it's stuck here

This is on a different computer with the drives connected via usb
 
When I try to turn off secure boot, it warns me that the computer might not be bootable, and that is, of course, concerning. Shall I go forward?

That tells me the Bios could be corrupted.
Has the Bios been saved to defaults?
Is there a Bios update available?

I actually just updated the BIOS from A09 to A12.

This would be the best idea. For some reason Nick can not get the system to change boot orders.

We'd have the problem of not being able to boot from the installation CD. I also have a copy of Microsoft Office Home & Student 2016 and I'm not sure you can migrate that without buying a new copy. I still have the product key for it, but I don't know.

With a quick internet search, It seems to be a common problem to not be able to boot from CD or USB with Aptio BIOS.
