[NAME]  Thanks for offering help.  I am probably explaining it badly.  Nevertheless, I resolved the issue on my own.  Here is how: 1.I disconnected both the M.2 and HDD. 2. I put in a blank SSD and installed a fresh copy of Windows.  Obviously, I used the version of Windows specifically for my computer on the Dell website and a put it on USB drive using the Dell Recovery tool from my laptop. 3. Once the new version of Windows was installed and updated on the SSD, I shut down the computer. 4. I reconnected the M.2 and the HDD (this time in the SATA 2 Port). 5. Once booted back up on the new SSD, I cloned the M.2 to the HDD.  During this process I came to the realization that a few hangups that I had been having with Windows on the HDD beginning back in summer 2020, did not exist on the SSD.  At the point, I had decided to install Windows fresh on the M.2 after making sure that the HDD had all of my files. 6. I wiped the M.2, also removing the partitions and then shut down the computer. 7. I disconnected the SSD and the HDD, put the USB drive in and booted into it to install Windows onto the M.2. 8. Windows installed in less than 10 minutes, it updated everything in about a hour and that is what I am using now. 9. I reconnected the HDD to the SATA 2 port and everything is accessible. In the end, cloning hard drives is not 100 percent fool proof as I am proof of that.  At least I came away with a better running version of Windows on a much faster hard drive.  For anyone else thinking of replacing or copying a hard drive, remember to jot down every program that you installed and back up your personal files.  I periodically perform backups to an external SSD, so returning this computer to where I was two days ago took only two hours.
Just a word of warning, what I am about to say is a comedy of errors and am embarrassed for being so dumb. I installed the M.2 NVMe SSD drive and cloned it from the original HDD.  I made the mistake of shutting down and booting the computer with the original HDD still installed.  I assumed that it loading the HDD was a BIOS problem since the SSD seemed to work when I loaded it from the boot menu.  I then found a topic here where someone said that they had deleted a partition on the HDD and then were able to boot to the SSD with no problem.  Needless to say, that did not work in my case. With only the SSD connected, I end up with this blue screen where none of the options work except the one that leads to the BIOS. With both drives connected, I get the Windows boot and reinstall options.  Nothing works. Dell XPS 8930, Windows 10, 64 GB 2.6K Memory, I7-9700 CPU, Nvidia 1660 TI, WD 7200RPM HDD,  Crucial P5 1TB 3D NAND NVMe Internal SSD, 450 Watt PCU...  I am not sure what other information may help. Any assistance is appreciated, please and thank you.
