Hi everyone! I’m trying to move my SSD from a Windows PC to a MacBook Pro using an external enclosure and a Thunderbolt adapter. I’m curious about the software side of this process—can it actually be done? I’ve checked some forums but haven’t found a clear solution yet. Also, keep in mind that using an external drive is not the best approach since my transfer speed is only 5 Gbps at most. Thanks for any advice!

Focus on the main actions and swap the USB for an SSD instead.

Your question is clear—will running it on Windows impact the outcome?

It shouldn't be this way. I believe I have sufficient understanding to suggest it, though I'm uncertain since I struggle to even turn off a Mac.
