Best way to clone the SSD from old computer to new computer with an M.2 Samsung Drive? – ASEAN NOW

Remove the SSD from your old computer and put it into an external USB enclosure. Connect that USB enclosure to your new computer, and run a disk cloning/partitioning program. I use ECHO 5, which works very well. The software will setup your new computer to temporarily boot an alternative OS, allow you to re-partition the M2 drive if desired, and then clone your SSD to your M2. When finished, the temporary OS is removed and your new computer will boot normally.

Thank you.

Good Advice.

However, during this discussion, strangely enough, I may very likely choose to install Linux on the new teaching computer, for several good reasons.

My only hurdle might be to find something similar to Adobe Acrobat Pro which will run, natively, on Linux.

So, after many years, this wish will not happen soon, if ever.

So...FK Adobe.

I will find some way to work around Adobe.

But, I am now committed to going with Linux, on a new install, even though I know this might require a bit of extra effort.

FK, MS, Fk Adobe.....

Opensource and Free Software is the only way to go....because...as I have mentioned.....

The software companies are trying to move towards Monthly Subscriptions, sort of like the New York Times.....

So, then...FK THEM!

((I will be using completely FREE Software on my next computer. I will be going FOSS, and also opensource software, which is not the same thing. But, I will not be paying MONTHLY FEES to these Chicken SHT Software companies...for sure. These monthly fees are their new strategy to suck the blood out of us. No Way. I SHT upon these Vampires!)
