Yes, that's what the backup is for exactly. I do it all the time when testing things... I'm not sure what makes you thinks it's a risk.

If your clone is perfect make another backup of it and clone it to the ssd after formatting it. Easy going first.
Hi friends, the cloning went well and now the ssd starts from slot 1. my next step would be to update from High Sierra to Mojave. The MP51.0089.B00 firmware is already I stalled. Can I directly install Mojave or is the Mojave patcher still recommended?

Can you go to your macrumors account and look for " signature " - then make one and tell us which cMP you have ( 4,1 ? 5.1 ? 4,1 flashed to 5,1 ? ), which CPU(s) , how much RAM, which GPU you have installed etc. Everything relevant . . then we can more easily help you.
My SIGNATURE is at the bottom of this post. Can you see it ?

Mojave patcher is only needed for unsupported Mac models. You can directly install Mojave downloaded from the App Store.
Everything went well wit the update. Eve the firmware is updated. One question remains: if i install a radeon Vega 56 do i need extra power supply or not? Which is he maximum card i can use?
