Booting UEFI requires different things: (detailed descriptions on rodsbook site) Proper subdir/entry in ESP (could be reused from old disk) Proper entry in NVRAM (Can be read and changed with efibootmgr) If i were you, i would prepare for emergency rescuing the system in case of havoc. For example the refind iso is capable of booting a system without a proper NVRAM entry, in order to rescue, i recommend preparing such an iso.
Myself have been playing with different bootable systems using refind as a boot manager, but AFAICT you won't need that part.
