For me, my high bar that I have yet to beat, was the time I pivoted the running OS (ubuntu) into RAM over SSH so I could unmount and image the boot drive without rebooting and loading a live USB (Which would have required a ticket with my provider to enable IPMI)

How did you do it? Did you run a live distro on the new laptop to receive and overwrite the SSD ?

Livebooted (Arch) on both, I think you can even remove the install media after it copied itself to RAM, though I'm not sure (especially with Ventoy in between).
