Some years ago, I make the mistake of doing a single partition for the system (I’m using EndeavourOS). Now I have a new disk, and I want to move the OS there, but not /home, which I want to stay in the old drive. How can I do it?

There is a few bytes at the beginning of the hard disk that tells the BIOS from where to load the OS.
These bytes don’t belong to any particular partition.
What you want is very doable you just need to reinstall the bootloader after or else your system won’t boot.
Try to find a Linux person near you to help or if you want to test for your self. Make a simulation using a virtual machine and see if you could accomplish what you want there before doing it in your real system
