NEW COMP: I've upgraded to AMD 1950x with Asus Zenith Extreme
from my
OLD COMP: Intel i7 4790 with also an Asus Maximus VII motherboard
I did use WIN7, upgraded on the OLD COMP to WIN 10 and it worked great.
Then I just switched the disk to the NEW COMP and after booting into the WIN 10 I get a AsIO.sys Error with a blue screen.

The question is:
Is it even possible to run a NEW COMP with a disk from the OLD COMP?
I do get into Safe Mode but can't install any drivers since I would need multiple restarts.
Now I'm lost since I don't want to install a fresh WIN 10 copy with a loot of software again.

You need to reinstall Windows. Simply swapping the drive to the new one tends not to work as you get driver conflicts from the drivers installed for your old hardware that doesn't work for your new stuff. Best you could do is maybe try installing your drivers from safe mode, but even then you might still have some instabilities and other issues, so it's usually best to just do a clean reinstall when you switch platforms like this.
