I'm about to purchase 12E3004YUS (M70Q Tiny Gen 4, I5 Win 11, 16GB, 512GB SSD)
I have cloned a SSD drive from another PC that has win 7 Pro on it.
I want to remove the M2 in the Lenovo and put the available 1 GB clone drive in the bay.
Will this work?
Can I boot off the clone drive if I remove the M.2?
I know this sounds crazy but this is in an industrial environment and I need to keep the win 7 in tact.
I will upgrade to win 10 after I get all up and running. - There is no internet to this PC, so it all has to be done off site and then put into production.
Thanks for any input that you may have.
