As a quick solution, could I swap the single SSD to another computer and
expect it to boot up?
Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving!

I figure it should be OK. I did just that recently when I bought a new
Thinkpad (P16 Gen 2) and used the SSD from my old Thinkpad (P1) to the
new one. There didn't seem to be any problem after booting. No
modification was required. The system was running recently updated
testing with a stock kernel. If you build your kernel yourself and
optimize it for efficiency or space, then your experience will probably
be not as good. But the stock kernel has the kitchen sink and all, so
chances are you won't have a problem trying. It will definitely help if
your system was updated not too long ago before you do the swap.
