I have a (very) legacy Proxmox 6.4-15 install on failing hardware (the the storage is solid, the VMs are not corrupt - there is a glitch that now requires keyboard and video to be attached if power is lost).
Original System:
CPU(s): 4 x Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz (1 Socket)
Kernel Version: Linux 5.4.203-1-pve #1 SMP PVE 5.4.203-1 (Fri, 26 Aug 2022 14:43:35 +0200)
PVE Manager Version: pve-manager/6.4-15/af7986e6
New System:
CPU(s): 4 x Intel(R) N97 (1 Socket)
Kernel Version: Linux 6.8.4-2-pve (2024-04-10T17:36Z)
Boot Mode: EFI
Manager Version: pve-manager/8.2.2/9355359cd7afbae4
VM:
HASS-OS - (HomeAssistant)
I really wanted to avoid:
Most of what I've read is just "Backup on old" and "Restore on new" - I'm clearly missing something![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Suggestions?

I really wanted to avoid:
- Upgrade 6.4 to 7.x to 8.2 - because if it breaks, it might be harder to get the VM back up and running on the old hardware
- Install 7.x on the new hardware to try to do some form of conversion (because I cannot see where there is any voodoo to convert machines that are restored from backup) and I would have to disable SecureBoot - and I kind of like now that I've figured out how to do EFI keeping it as it should be.
