I had problems with the “basic” method of launching battle.net as a non steam game. The Lutris method worked for me.

While I don't know what exactly is going wrong, it's near certain it's not because of windows.
That's not how partitioning works.
Did you reinstall SteamOS or just clone it to the new SSD? I've seen people say if you don't reinstall the OS properly when upgrading it can cause some issues but I'm not sure if those situations apply to what's happening here
I did a full reinstall.
Did you get the b.net installer and launcher mixed up? I did the same uphrade just 3 days ago, 1tb upgrade from 64gb. Diablo works fine for me from the new ssd. On my old 64gb I got them mixed up once and it was a headache to sort out.
Pretty sure I don't have them mixed up. The installer exe is in my downloads folder and the launcher exe is somewhere deep in the Steam folder.
All I did: Add installer as Steam Game. Press play to install. Add launcher as Steam Game. Press play to open the b.net client and install w/e game you intend to. In both cases also force use of proton experimental or else it won't start.
That's exactly what I did, and it starting the launcher and installing Diablo 4 also worked once in Desktop mode but when I switch back to gaming mode and try launch it there it's not working.
When I upgraded my SSD in my old 64gb model to just a 256gb, I had to reinstall all my games from scratch, including D4. Nothing would work otherwise that I had on my old SD card. After that I had no problems. When I get back from a concert this evening I can look and see what version of proton my D4 is running so that I can say with certainty that it is working and let you know
I'm not trying to run the games that I had on the SD card. I'm reinstalling everything from scratch.
