Need Help Migrating Win 8.1 From M.2 to SATA SSD

good day i ran across a issue i'm not sure how to address, so let me start by saying i just built this system and it's the first time for me to be using a uefi bios, and originally i had 8.1 on a samsung 850 evo sata as mbr. my roommate was having a problem with a intel m.2 ssd and i told him i would test it to see if i have the same issue. i got my board to see it, i got win 8.1 to install to it and boot perfectly, but c on the evo 850 got hosed and the drive call drive i by the os on the intel ssd. my questions are as follows.

since both drives are 120 gigs can i just clear the 850 and migrate all partitions from the intel to the 850?
is this the normal partition scheme for gpt, if not am i going to be better off just pulling the intel and simply rerunning 8.1 on the 850?
and lastly can i install samsung magician on the intel so i can create the boot media for resetting the 850, or is there a tool i can download to do the same thing?
