Hello, i did not plan on doing NVME's in my unit (f6-424 max) however i am finding that IO can really slow this thing down and guests. so i want to get two NVMe drives and migrate the OS install and everything to those. is their anyway to do this ? or is this a start over wipe everything etc... ?

or is this something more like i can unplug all the HDD's install the nvme's as if fresh device. then plug the HDD's back in but then those would still have OS partitions so how do i tell it to boot from the nvme's etc... ?

I did similar the other day, moved from one NVMe to another one.

As you described, but before taking out HDDs I did backup of system config and restored it after OS install before putting HDDs back

Not sure about the boot order tho, I guess you need to check BIOS settings

ok so the thought would be, take a config backup

treat the machine as a virgin install be removing all the existing disks, install the nvme's install TOS to that

restore config
re insert data drives
boot to bios to figure out boot settings

this did not work i was able to install the OS to NVMe however the device still boots to the HDD i was unable to figure out how to get to bios to change boot order
