New Acer Aspire laptop.

G'day Doc, open the lappy up and make sure all of the internal connectors are seated properly.

Remember, it worked and you have made internal changes.

Start there and work outwards before blaming stuff that works properly on the other machine.

Could well be a compatibility issue but given it has had surgery that must be the first place to look.

Remember despite keeping strict item counts surgeons still leave bits of kit and swabs inside patients occasionally.

It is human to err

I don't think it's a case of an internal connector not being seated properly, since the laptop wouldn't boot or function correctly if that was so, my Acer laptop does indeed boot-up and function correctly like it's supposed to, and I made triply-sure that the new 1Tb M.2 SSD drive was properly seated in it's socket before I put the back of the laptop back on it, I'm 100% sure of it, I was actually very slow and deliberate while doing the actual installation, all I did was unplug the stock 256Gb M.2 SSD drive from the socket and plugged-in the new one, I did not have to un-plug any of the other internal connectors, I did temporarily remove the 8Gb DDR4 ram stick so I could take a pic of the label on it, cause I'm going to be buying a second 8Gb DDR4 ram stick soon, and I needed the existing one's specs.

I did make sure I plugged the 8Gb DDR4 ram stick back in it's socket though.
