Can you? Probably yes. But it would probably be quicker and easier to do a fresh install. As discussed in a recent thread after cloning you would have to make sure all the grub bits are updated with correct UUIDs. You would also have to rebuild initramfs, etc. If you are wanting to preserve user data, just re-create the user making sure the uid:gid are the same, and then mount the home directory from the USB drive under /mnt and then (as root) copy to the NVMe drive. If you are worried about missing a software package, you can make a list of installed rpms on the USB drive and use it to confirm the new install isn't missing anything that was on the USB. -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
