Currently running a server with a Z10PE-D16 WS motherboard with twin Zeon E5-2640's and the OS (W10) on NVMe. I built it 8 years ago and its showing its age a bit and won't upgrade to W11, so have a Z13PE-D16 and planning on twin 5512U's plus new 5600 rdimms. Question is if I take the old NVMe and put it on the new motherboard, will Windows recognise it?

I have made backups and was planning to make a clone with a new NVMe just in case (and use a faster Crucial T700 2Tb drive), just don't want to have to start from scratch as it would be a major job reinstalling all the apps on the existing one.

Thanks. I am pretty sure it's a retail license for W10, I still have the license key, but its a while ago. I guess the only way to find out is to try it, once I've cloned the disk.
