Hi people. A bit of a wrinkle in the plans... still need to transfer the operating system though.
The deal to buy the used computer fell through. It wasn't what I wanted anyway. So I purchased and assembled a new machine. I will not be installing Windows on it. Here is the problem... my old operating system is on an M.SATA drive. My new computer has 2 M.2 drives. I didn't realize there was a difference, because M.2 does both PCIE and SATA. But it turns out that M.SATA is a different form factor than M.2 and I cannot plug my old M.SATA drive into my new motherboard. Here is an explanation of the differences between M.2 and M.SATA. https://searchstorage.techtarget.com/definition/mSATA-SSD-mSATA-solid-state-drive So how do I transfer my old operating system from the M.SATA drive in my old computer to the M.2 drive in my new computer ? rsync over the network while running the new computer off a USB drive ?
