Thank you all for your response. 

Just to explain: I have only "standard" partitions. One for /boot, /, /usr, 
/var and /home. Most of them are luks encrypted.

This cloning I did often ovetr the years. My debian is rather old (means, first 
install years ago, but it was of course upgraded) and during the years, I 
cloned it from mechanical harddrive to SSD, then to a bigger SSD and so on.

This worked well and without any issues using clonezilla, resizing with 
gparted and resize2fs intelligently.

Although, first it was a change from /dev/hdaX to /dev/sdaX, this was well and 
easlily done until I changed to UUID. Even with this, the cloning worked 
perfectly without any flaws.

But /dev/hda and /dev /sda are very similar, except of the naming scheme.

But I never used NVME drives before and know (shame on me!) not much about it. 
If NVME are only super fast SSD's, then it will be easy, but if NVME are a 
complete alien hardware, then I might come in trouble (Nothing, that can not 
be fixed!).

So I asked here, maybe someone did the already the same, I intend to do and 
could give me some clues.

In the next days I get my new notebook and will report of my success. 

Maybe it will be helpfull for other people, too.

Have fun!
