Probably important note. Laptop's internal SSD requires a third-party driver to operate (i.e. you have to add driver to $WinPEDriver$ in root of bootable Windows 10 USB installer flash drive, otherwise Windows Setup won't "see" laptop's internal SSD). The USB 3.0 enclosure (reported as USB to ATA/ATAPI Bridge and it's 850 EVO SSD reported as SATA SSD) doesn't need any special drivers and works perfectly even in vanilla Windows 7.

@TomYan regarding HKLM/SYSTEM/MountedDevices, I 've also tried editing \DosDevices\C: to \DosDevices\D: on the destination drive after cloning. Will try removing everything but I feel it's something different.

@TomYan unfortunately no UEFI settings available for user (like, at all). I failed to mention I double-checked all UUID's of all partitions (and partition schemes IDs as well for that matter, used DISKPART & CloneDisk program in WinPE to check everything). There're no same volume UUIDs on source and destination disks. I have also double-checked if Macrium Reflect 8 manages to update volume UUIDs on clones: yes, it handle's that. Also I specifically reapplied bcdboot data of EFI volume using clone destination to prevent conflicts (as far as I understand the idea of what bcdboot does).

Also try removing all entries (except (Default)) in HKLM/SYSTEM/MountedDevices before you shutdown and clone.

If it's possible to meet the goal using DISM and WIM image, that's something I can manage. However I absolutely cannot sysprep /generalize the source beforehand because it will wipe software licenses and some user-profile-related software connections.
