"How to instructions" to boot from an external SSD on my 2019 Intel iMac running Ventura 13.5.2
I have a late 2019 Intel iMac with a 5400 RPM 1.0TB HDD which is painfully slow and just 8 GB of RAM. I don't believe there are any other problems than the known incompatibility of this very slow drive HDD and APFS. Since buying and having a new SSD installed by Apple is not a financial option, I read that booting from an external SSD performs "almost" as well. I have a brand-new Samsung 2.0TB T7 SSD and would like a reasonably detailed procedure to accomplish this on my Intel iMac running Ventura 13.5.2.
Thanks for your support , Andy
