Install DrivePool/Scanner on the new Windows 10 installation, the attached drives should be automatically recognized and rebuilt.Install Windows 10 on the HTPC with a full wipe & clean install on the SSD hard drive (not the data HDDs).
Un-register the DrivePool / Scanner licenses on the current server If you are still running Windows Home Server 2008 or Windows Home Server 2011, Microsoft recommends bringing in a new device running Windows Server Standard or Windows Server Essentials and migrating your roles, features and data to the new appliance.Same question for the Scanner product, is it working well in Windows 10?.I know it's been stated a few times, but as of today, is the latest DrivePool beta stable enough to store pictures/videos/movies/tv shows etc.Also now that the server edition prices are much higher, I feel like I don't really use the server features all that much, so a standard home edition would be fine (mainly media streaming and file storage).įrom all the reading I've done it seems like the Windows 10 support is fairly good, although I do see some bugs popping up here and there, and I guess I just wanted to get some confirmation before I did anything drastic. I'm very happy with how the StableBit products have been working with WHS2011, it has been a great Steam Mirror/Plex/File backup server for me and all of my files are protected! However with the home server product line being discontinued and as I look towards the future, I think I may want to be proactive rather than reactive about keeping my HTPC updated and secure. Its enough for a quick taste, but thats about all. The only trial of Windows Home Server 2011 is the online experience that youve doubtless already found on Microsofts site. As long as the rest of your hardware supports a 64 bit OS, though, it should do the job for now. Hi there! I wanted to inquire about the process about potentially upgrading/migrating my server from Windows Home Server 2011 to Windows 10. Definitely use new drives, including replacing the 3 year old system drive.
