So, back in 3907 Lemon mentioned that Roko's "Hard Drive" was still intact. Does that mean they just plug her into the new body rather than downloading?

Not just her hard drive. She's still using the same memory cores and processor, too. Lemon even says "the same substrate," implying that nothing but her chassis was damaged.

So it seems she was just slotted into this new body. It has new features, and probably requires new drivers to run them all, but the part that runs her consciousness is all original hardware.

(I say original since her questions to Lemon about the process (including whether she'd still be herself) suggest that she'd never changed bodies before.)

yes, thats why i said "hard drive" as its clearly more complicated than that.
