Changing hardware, keeping software

[kaidestructor]

I have right now a server with a backup of my mobiles photos and also working as a NAS with other important files.
I'd like to change basically all the hardware, but keep all the storage and configuration the same, how can I do it?

The pieces of the old server won't be used in the new, so both can be turned on at the same time.

I can instal windows myself and that's the extent of my skills.

the simplest way is to move the boot drive and storage drives to the new machine but since you arent reusing any parts we will have to take a different approach.

you are probably going to have to look into zfs replication

Ok, so I use ZFS, clone the boot drive and then transfer the data from my old pool to the new pool? But I only have 1 liscence, the last time I created a server un HexOs a disc wipe was mandatory, is that still a thing?
