If the filesystem is encrypted with a TPM
based key, you might not be able to clone
for a different motherboard.
Good Sir, your statement has me a bit befuddled.
(That’s ok, when it comes to delving this far into computers, I am often befuddled.)
I am not cloning to transfer the OS to a different machine, everything is integral to the N22 laptop. The only added factors are the cloning software itself and the recently installed SSD. The SSD works fine as a data drive “D” with the eMMC “C:” drive holding the OS (running a bit lethargic from the eMMC.)
