1 - make sure you have a full and current backup of your drive.

2 - erase the external SSD and format it to ASPF with Disk Utility.

3 - using Carbon Copy Cloner drag the internal drive into the Source bin and the external SSD into the Destination bin:

3 - Control (right) - click on the Destination bin and select Legacy Bootable Backup Assistant ⬆︎ from the contextual menu and click on the "allow" button⬇︎ :

4 - then click on Start.

When done select the external SSD as the startup drive in the System/General/Startup Disk settings pane and reboot.
