Before anyone asks yes I did search for this and while there was numerous other discussions all the ones I found where many years old and relevant to older versions.

I am running TrueNAS-13.0-RELEASE Core. Very simple setup, one O\S drive on SSD and 2 spinning disks each its own pool (yes I know no redundancy which is part of the point of the upgrade)

I have a new PC (motherboard, CPU, RAM, CASE, PSU) I want to make my new TrueNas server. What's the best way to move across tp the new machine? Should I just plug in the SSD into the
first sata slot and pray that it boots and then add each spinning disk after that and hope it just works?

PS I have no place to
backup the existing disks so it must be non destructive.

Thanks.

What is relavent to the older versions is still valid here.
Make a config backup first and try it. If you have to rebuild the SSD - take 10 minutes (if that)
The data vdevs won't be an issue - just export them first, then import to the new TN
