Look into the possibility that you're booting via BIOS and not UEFI.
It's possible to have /boot and /boot/efi, and also to have GRUB2 installed on the disk, in which case the system is able to boot from both BIOS and UEFI.
If that's the case, then you'd need to install GRUB2 on the new disk as well.
