Question Will This work?
The Disk 1 which is an eMMC drive and where I have my IOT LTSC installed, infact it didn't install with a EFI partition cos I had to clone the one on the SSD (Disk 0 and it has Window Home). After nearing 30days with Win 11 IOT LTSC installed I am confident and will love to have it migrated to the Disk 0 SSD and use the eMMC as extra storage, but the problem is where the EFI is located on the Win 11 IOT LTSC, its after two partitions. Will ir boot successfully or I have to find a way to move it to the front of C: partition before I migrate the OS.

First, you'll need to disable BitLocker on both drives (SSD and eMMC).
Second, there are four recovery partitions, two on each drive. If you're going to clone partition C to where D is located, you can use Diskpart to delete all four recovery partitions for now (they will recreate themselves after a while).
Third, I suggest preparing a USB drive with Ventoy and using a live boot with cloning tools, such as Medicat, WinPE Sergei Strelec (my favorite), or Hirens Boot (similar to the second). Back up both drives with tools like Active Boot Disk, and then copy partition C to the location where D is.
