Need to switch USB from Legacy to UEFI without losing its configuration


Recommended Posts

OK, I have migrated hardware to a system that is going to require me to boot UEFI.  I have a USB stick with a licensed UNRAID install attached to it-- all of my VMs and Dockers are set up how I want.  New PC won't boot it.

 

I want to overwrite the USB with a UEFI version of itself, but I don't want to loose all my customizations.  How can I accomplish this?  

Thank you in advance!

The only thing you have to do to enable UEFI boot is to remove the trailing ‘~’ character from the EFI folder on the Unraid flash drive.

 

the one thing to note is that if you are passing any hardware through to a VM then the hardware ‘iD’s will have changed on the new hardware and will need adjusting to match the new hardware.    You should delete (or rename) the config/vfio.cfg file on the flash drive to stop inadvertently mapping the wrong hardware (and possibly causing issues) on the new system.
