Recently purchased a new WD_BLACK SN850 1TB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 NVMe drive and installed windows to it and I have created a 1GB unformatted partition at the start. I made the mistake of installing windows whilst the old SSD was still connected and ended up with the boot configuration being placed in the EFI partition on that drive. What is the safest way for me to get the EFI partition onto the new drive? Can I clone it from one drive to another without causing any possible secure boot issues?

There are a lot of programs that can do that. I haven't used any lately so I can't make a definite recommendation but this might be a popular one: https://www.diskpart.com/clone/clone-efi-partition-0825.html

Now when I try to shutdown it just logs me out  going to run an sfc scan and see if it finds any problems.
