April 22Apr 22 I'm about to embark on a server rebuild due to a failing MOBO and I wanted to check if I have to do anything special to just do the MOBO swap, but boot off USB on my original thumbdrive that has been working with the old MOBO for years? Is this just a simple "boot off the old USB thumbdrive and it will work fine" kinda thing, or is there anything special I need to do for this to transfer?

No VMs on this build (very basic backup server) and all the HDD are on a LSI card that will just unplug from the old Mobo and plug into the new one. Sounds pretty straightforward a swap then.
