I want to move my FreeNAS system to new PC.
What I think of doing now is just remove the OS flash drive and the HDD from the old PC and put them on the new one.
Is there any other steps I need to do ?

Are the old and new machines the same hardware? A little more info, please.

Odds are it will work just fine. You may need to reconfigure your network adapter, though. See also:

I just moved it to the new PC.
I can boot but I get:
"The web interface could not be accessed.
Please check network configuration"
How to fix that ?

I manage to figure it out myself.
Thank you.

I would expect it was just a matter of:

But it would be good to have confirmation.

I just had to manually set an IP address.
Just entered 1 (Configure Network Interface) and followed along. It was fairly simple.
