Maybe a stupid question, but I've just received the new #RaspberryPi 5: I have a rpi 4B+ with the system installed on an external SSD, can I just plug this SSD into the new raspberry, or will it mess things up? 🙆‍♂️

@retiolus Just to be clear, you have the whole OS installed on that external SSD and you boot Rpi4 from that?
As long as you boot from an SD card, you should see all the files normally on the new Rpi 5. But there are probably going to be differences, because the Pis use different CPUs.
As long as you just need to access the files saved on the SSD, it should be okay.

@atropos148 Debian 11 (Bullseye) is installed on the SSD

@retiolus @atropos148 Unfortunately, the Pi5 requires Bookworm (Debian 12). Debian 11 (Bullseye) does not have the support for the new hardware on the Pi5.
