How do I clone from a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) spinning hard drive to a new SSD on 10.13.6
While the only format options available for the new drive were APFS variations, after formatting I was able to use the Partition tool in Disk Utility to morph the new drive into "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Once the format type matched between the two drives I was able to restore from the existing system drive onto the new SSD.
