   Thank you very much to all for taking your time to reply.   
      
   By now I think the first solution from druck will be my first try (when   
   I get the NVME). I have before been looking at creating an image (as   
   suggested by Chris Townley today) , but ran in to things I did not   
   understand, or was ment for an earlier version of raspberry pi os. Then   
   i posted the question here.   
      
   So if we look at the df -h listing from my first post:   
   raspberrypi@raspberrypi:~ $ df -h   
   Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on   
   udev            3.8G     0  3.8G   0% /dev   
   tmpfs           805M  6.2M  799M   1% /run   
   /dev/mmcblk0p2   57G  5.0G   49G  10% /   
   tmpfs           4.0G  368K  4.0G   1% /dev/shm   
   tmpfs           5.0M   48K  5.0M   1% /run/lock   
   /dev/mmcblk0p1  510M   75M  436M  15% /boot/firmware   
   tmpfs           805M  160K  805M   1% /run/user/1000   
   /dev/sda2       234G   19G  203G   9% /media/raspberrypi/rootfs   
   /dev/sda1       511M   76M  436M  15% /media/raspberrypi/bootfs   
      
   Then the system to copy is on the 2 last lines. Correct?   
      
   And following drucks first suggestion I should run these 2 commands:   
   1: dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/dev/nvme0n1 bs=1M status=progress   
   and   
   2: dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/nvme0n1 bs=1M status=progress   
      
   replacing the name of the NVME to what I see when it is installed on the   
   raspi.   
      
   Best regards, and thank you for the help.
