The 64gb sd was copied to the nvme, with a partition of the whole 250gb drive. raspi-config to change the boot order and it was done.”
“Work without an hitch on first install. However when installing a larger capacity nvme disk the small plastic connector on the board and the pi 5 failed (broke...)”
