You're changing that, so you will > most likely need to change the EFI boot entry. Look at the "Fedora" > entry in "efibootmgr -v" to see what I mean. It currently shows: Boot0000* Fedora HD(1,GPT,7554722f-6e12-4c21-89da-5c43790ced1e,0x800,0x12c000)/File(\EFI\fedora\shimx64.efi) However the man page for efibootmgr only talks about disks in terms of /dev/... so I'm not clear on how to a) identify the new SSD, and b) tell the boot manager about it.
