The difference is that in the Old Testament; God moved upon his people. Whereas in the New Testament He indwelled in His Children.

The difference, seems to be that the spirit of Jesus, who was raised from the dead, comes to dwell in the heart of people now. But the spirit of the Lord was already at work within the hearts and lives of people all throughout the NT. The difference is in what happened at the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, and we are now given power over death, hell, sin and the grave, which the church of the OT did not have yet.

Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.

Jesus said they would receive power when the Holy Spirit comes UPON you. The difference is not in that the HS comes upon you (which happened many times in the OT and NT before the DOP too), but what Jesus was speaking would happen - power - that is what was different.
The POWER is the difference between the OT and the NT church.
