I have a 2015 MacBook Pro that I have installed Sequoia on using OCLP. I just ordered a new SSD and want to know what the correct order is for installing and restoring. Should I make a physical installer with a USB first and then install the SSD? Am I able to restore a backup after that? I am not very well-versed in the technical details but I can understand/follow steps enough to have OCLP installed in the first place. Thank you in advance for any advice!
