Hi all
I recently purchased a new mbp and bought an external drive to install bootcamp/windows 10 on to. While everything installed correctly and I can boot into windows from the drive, it wasn't until I started installing some programs in windows that I noticed the drive I bought was USB 3.1 gen 1 and I've noticed some degradation in speed. I was rushing at the apple store and purchased the wrong drive.
I've since bought a new Samsung T7 thunderbolt 3/USB 3.1 gen 2 SSD and I'm hoping I can just transfer the original external drive to the new external drive without having to go through and re-install everything as it took several hours babysitting the computer. Is this possible? I remember during the Windows 10 installation the installer re-formatted the drive and I'm a little concerned about the drives filesystem being incorrect. Is it just a matter of using Disk Utility to create a backup?
