    Yes, that's expected, because everything setup on the drive is for the Helios. Better would be to just copy the files you want from the Helios to the Orion and use the drive that came with it.

    thing is that the helios drive is larger, could i make a carbon copy of the orion drive and just write it to the helios drive (after backing it up)

    Yup, make sure you do the backup and that it works so you can recover if needed. There are lots of cloning apps out there. If the Helios drive is larger then things should be simple, no need for the cloning app to resize the C: drive smaller. Ideally you'd be doing this with a third drive, so you could clone B to C, then A to B, then C to A, freeing C back up for other uses...
