January 28Jan 28 My old NAS motherboard is dying right now, so I decide to upgrade to a new machine, since this will change nearly all the things in my NAS: motherboard, CPU, RAM and even the PSU, only thing I keep is the SSD, HDD and HBA card.I am a little worried about this major upgrade, I read the documents, it said I should be fine as long as it's the same USB stick, and the appdata and system folder backup, So anything else I should do?
January 28Jan 28 Community Expert Normally switching hardware is simply plug-and-play as long as no RAID disk controllers are involved - and even that can be worked around.Having said that if you pass any hardware through to VMs the hardware IDs will be different so remove any VFIO assignments and then set them up again on the new system.
