October 20, 20232 yr I upgraded my CPU and have installed a lot of stuff I don't need on my Unraid machine. I kind of want to do a fresh start on this machine and will start my setup from scratch (besides the data on my disks). I also used a really shitty USB drive on my initial install and never switched it (I think its like a batman drive best buy had on sale). So I would also like to swap that out for a new drive. So in short I need to: 1. Fresh install of Unraid with brand new USB drive 2. copy over license from old drive to new How do I go about this without losing my license? Ive already backed up my current drive from the unraid "flash backup" option and have that saved. Is there a file I can just copy over? Anything special I need to know about using my "old" disks on this fresh install?

When you say old assignments - your saying what drive is assigned to what right? Can I do that manually? If I know which drive is what and just match them up exactly when setting up my array? Or do I NEED to do it this way?
