Do you _really_ need to swap the current disk? If not: put a new disk into
new hardware and you only have to copy data over. Ideally NVME or something
fast.
You may find some use for the old NUC: the only reason I say this particularly
is because you installed with BIOS boot and changing that may be as much
trouble as a new install.
mythtv - debian-multimedia - yours to sort out, I think, but again, you
may find it easier to have a spare machine that (sort of) works while you
debug the new NUC
Hope this helps - with every good wish, as ever,
