[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1033274, member: 24160"] Don't have a clue if that would work or not. An easy way to do it, if you do not need all the previous files that have ever existed on your machine since starting Time Machine, is to grab SuperDuper! (my recommendation) or CarbonCopyCloner and create a clone - a new bootable backup of your current system to the external drive. Yes, this will erase the TM backup. Reboot your machine to that external drive and use it for awhile to make sure the backup is ok. Then change out the internal drive, boot to the external again and use the same software to clone the external back to your new internal. [/QUOTE]
