You should be able to repeat what I did when I upgraded from HDD to SSD running ubuntu on my VM.

[Moving Umbrel node to new hardware - Support and Troubleshooting - Umbrel Community (getumbrel.com)](http://community.umbrel.com/t/moving-umbrel-node-to-new-hardware/2394)

Basically shutdown the node, copy across entire Umbrel dir to the new external drive (recommend SSD) then fire it up from the SSD with ./scripts/start
