1 Transplant the SSD to another MacBook
So I’ve been trying to recover a liquid damaged MacBook Air, and it looks like the cost of replacing the parts has exceeded the cost of purchasing a refurbished MacBook Air of the same generation.
If I took the SSD out of the damaged system, can I simply plug it into the new Mac and expect it to play as if there were no changes at all?
At first, I imagine the SSD will most likely detect that it’s in a new device, but will the OS still load and my data still be available?
Questa è una buona domanda?

I’ve done this before, after my 2014 Mac Air did not turn on. Repair was not economical, and I had a spare 2015 available. Both had the same OS version, so that probably helped, but the only thing I remember really having to do was confirming licenses for a few of the apps I had installed, and confirming my Apple ID details.
I’m actually about to try this again, as my Mac air has 4GB, and we have an 8GB version that would suit me better. 4GB is plenty for our staff that really just use Google Office. I have, of course, backed everything up before starting, and have all my license keys saved.
