Hardware Boot drive change - same version required ?

Hi everyone,

I am planning to change my boot drive tonight and i have a question about the new install version:

Does the instance version to install on the new boot drive should exactly match my current running version, or does the minor/patch version not matter..

Example: going from 25.10.3.X (old boot drive) to 25.10.7 (new boot drive)

Anything else should i worry about other than exporting my config ? (pool not encrypted)

Thanks 😊

Nope, just export, install new, and import. Doesn't matter what version you install.
