hi Tim. thanks. Hadn't even thought of the possibility issue of not being able to access the internal components for upgrading. Another issue.
What I've got on my rough process is a complete list of installed apps as well as libs/files from the different sys dirs... and the var dirs.. I've tested some of this in the past with a cheap cloud instance to see how well the basic process works. Of course there would be all the rest of the stuff. security stuff. user dirs/stuff thanks On Wed, Mar 22, 2023, 12:44 AM Tim via users <users@lists.fedoraproject.org> wrote: > On Tue, 2023-03-21 at 21:21 -0400, Bruce wrote: > > So, give me your thoughts as well as best practice that you use for > > this kind of process... > > With older laptops it was quite easy to remove the hard drive, new very > slim laptops are more like a sealed unit. > > But my method of your kind of upgrade would be to set up your new > laptop as a completely new device.
