   I currently own an old Dell XPS 8700 desktop that boots in legacy mode.  I   
   have cloned the / drive, using FoxClone, onto a 2.5 inch SATA SSD drive. I   
   can remove the SSD that is in the computer and replace it with the cloned   
   SSD and it works great.   
      
   But, what will I need to do if I were to buy a new computer and wanted to   
   simply place this SSD into the new computer and have it boot right up?   
   What type of trouble am I going to run into with UEFI vs. Legacy boot with   
   that SSD.  MBR vs. GPT format?   
      
   I've tried the cloned SSD on another older computer, Dell Inspiron,   
   running Windows 7 with UEFI boot, and it doesn't work.  I've tried   
   disabling UEFI boot on the Inspiron and booting in legacy mode and get   
   nothing.   
      
   The best I can get, using a USB 3.0 to SATA cable, is that it will boot up   
   to the login screen of Mint and I can type in my password and just get a   
   message of you are in emergency mode, press enter for maintenance, or   
   control D to continue, but all options are a loop and lead back to the   
   sign in dialog.   
      
   Let's say I buy a Dell Precision 3680 as my next desktop computer.  How am   
   I going to be able to make this 500GB SSD clone of my current Mint 22.1   
   setup run with it?  Can I clone the 2.5 500GB SATA SSD to the Precision's   
   NVMe's 512GB SSD and somehow save the current Mint setup that I have now?
