Hey everyone! I'm reaching out for some help with SSH. Right now, I'm using a Windows PC to connect via SSH to a mini PC running Ubuntu Server, and I've got a key pair made with OpenSSH on Windows. Since I'm selling my Windows PC soon and switching to a MacBook, I'm wondering about the best way to handle the SSH setup. Can I simply transfer the existing private key to the Mac? Is that a good idea? Thanks for your guidance!

A common best practice for SSH keys is to generate a new key wherever you plan to use it, rather than moving or copying it from one device to another. If you decide to create a new key on your MacBook, you can just set it up fresh without the hassle of transferring files.
