Question Will my laptop boot if I clone UEFI (GPT) HDD to SSD and put that SSD in a non-UEFI board laptop ?

[vinaysunmoon]

I have TOSHIBA C660-1QF laptop whose motherboard does not support UEFI (I am not sure, can you please check).

If I clone UEFI HDD (GPT partition) to SSD and put that SSD in my Toshiba laptop to boot, will my laptop boot?

You might want to just install the OS from scratch as opposed to going back and forth with the partition structures however looking up the laptop's SKU you've mentioned above, it's too old to be functional in 2023.

I want to clone my new laptop's HDD which has UEFI and GPT partition to an SSD and put that SSD in my old Toshiba laptop.
