Hi all,
I hope this is the right place where to ask this. This is my first post on here!
I have this Mac Pro:
Mac Pro 5,1 (Mid 2012) (Silver Tower)
3,33 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
OS: High Sierra 10.13.6 (17G65)
My Goal:
- Clone the boot drive to a SSD Samsung Evo 860 drive (I have a 2,5'' to 3,5'' adapter to mount the ssd in the mac pro).
- I want to retain all system preferences, all applications and programs, all programs preferences, browser cookies, etc etc....basically, I want to be able to just boot from the new drive to increase speed, but keep working as if nothing happened or changed.
Questions:
- Is it possible to do this? And will it work with the Samsung EVO 860 ?
- Which is the easiest/best way to clone the boot drive?
- Any specific software to use, or can all be done inside the OS ?
Thanks a lot in advance to you all for the help!
