December 30, 20178 yr This might have already been asked but I have been unable to find it as of yet. I have an old HP DL380 that has my original unRaid setup on it. I am going to re-purpose this server (but keep it unRaid, it only has the basic license) and have acquired a new DL380 with better specs (processors, memory, and newer by a few years) to take its place. The new DL380 has the pro/unlimited license on it. Is there a way that I can copy or move the Windows 10 VM's that I have on the old build to the new build? I would rather not have to set each one back up from scratch if I can help it. If I just copy the VM folder from Domains on the old server to Domains on the new server will it recognize it? I know windows is weird about stuff like that but since they are so similar I was hoping it would just work.
January 9, 20188 yr I would just copy the DOMAINS folder over to your new server. Then use the VM templates; make a new VM setup how you want it; click advanced slider; change the hard drive disk image over from, "automatic" to "manual" and point it at your old hard drive image. Windows won't have any problems as long as you use the same machine-type/bios emulation. Some work in making the VM's from templates again, but at least that way you're not dealing with hardware specific addresses from old box to new box.
