Summary

On Hands-On Tech, Mikah answers questions such as about a feature in Linux that can allow you to cut and paste your entire drive, about passkeys and multiple accounts on the same website, and Mikah helps a listener with the process of transferring from working on a Windows machine to a Mac mini.

Ole is looking for a feature that would allow him to move his Linux system and files from one drive to another without having to reinstall the operating system.
Kevin is wondering if you can log into a website using passkeys if you have multiple accounts on that website.
Gary has a follow-up to Mark's question about Kindle Sync from last week that could be useful for them.
Ronald is planning to switch from his Dell Windows 10 computer to the new M4 Mac mini and has a slew of questions about when he will make the switch, from which Mac mini configuration he should go with, to using external drives with the computer, and which Thunderbolt hub Mikah recommends as well.
And Stephen provides a follow-up on the question about smartphone hotspots from a few episodes ago, involving Jon's problem getting older hardware to connect to his iPhone hotspot.

Remember to send in your questions for Mikah to answer during the show! [email protected]
