Hey,Alright, that's much better. Now let's tackle the remaining issues:
- We need to transfer files and preferences/settings manually. This is the best and safest approach because it puts you in full control of the process. It is more time-consuming, but should be straightforward to do.
- HDD performance is horrendously bad. You will check yourself into a psychiatric ward in no time! HDDs are good for storage of large media collections and other data, but should not be used as bootable backup drives.
- For native brightness control, please see Troubleshooting / FAQ section (this controls both volume and brightness):View attachment 492422
- Because the new volume is serving as the Home Folder, it must be treated with special care. We cannot rename that volume. Instead, we will need to do the following:
- Create a new Volume with the name you want to use
- Then clone the old Volume ("Casey") to the new volume using Carbon Copy Cloner (just clone the single volume)
- Then go back to System Preferences --> Users & Groups and change the Home Directory to the new volume
- Reboot when asked
- Log in and make sure everything is okay
- When the new volume is fully up and running, you can then use Disk Utility to delete the old volume ("Casey")
So far it's going good with my new volume - "Rons" as the home folder, but as you can see in the picture I've noticed there is a volume named "Catalina - Data" I suppose this is my older home folder, Is it safe to delete it?
