Hello,
I’m trying to move a LUKS-encrypted NVMe disk to a new computer. I’m running an i3mw Manjaro with the encryption setup during the installation process (default one).
I’m unfortunately unable to boot from this disk when the disk is inside the new laptop (connected with NVMe). But, if I connect the disk to a USB-C NVMe adapter and boot from the USB disk, there is no issue.
What should I change / edit, to be able to boot from this disk when it is connected internally?
The old Laptop was a Dell Latitude 5400, the new one is an HP EliteBook 1030 G4. It’s using the UEFI boot (not Legacy).
This is what I get when the disk is plugged into the NVMe slot (internally). Unfortunately, in this Grub Rescue Mode, I don’t have access to much information

I tried this solution using sudo mkinitcpio -P, but unsuccessfully:
This is the information I extracted from the HP after booting from the USB-C adapter :
