Good Morning / Evening everyone.
So here is the situation. I recently purchased a Samsung 850 Pro SSD to replace my current 5,400 rpm HDD in my 2011 Macbook Pro. I would like to keep the same OS that I'm currently running and simply make a complete copy of the drive onto my new SSD.
If i use 'Time Machine' and back up everything to the new SSD. Would i be able to simply insert that new drive in and boot up as normal or are there a few extra steps needed?
Thank you very much for any assistance, i will definitely be reading every response! ^_^
