      Hi,
      hi have read some thread's on the forum but no answer provided clear instructions, most of them still require to keep me SD on the pi after moving the OS to USB.

      I have retropie running on a 8GB SD card on the rpi3 and an external drive connect on USB with just the ROMS, but space on the SD card is running out and now seemed a good time to use the USB to boot the system up and retire my SD card.
      I have set the rpi3 to start from USB, I have a 16GB USB stick to use but can't find clear instructions on how to MOVE the system from SD to USB, i don't want to make a fresh retropie install onto the USB.

      Can some one point instructions to achieve this?

      Thanks,
      chapas
