Migrate Plex

Server Version#: 1.41.5?
Player Version#: NA

My desktop running Windows 11 all of a sudden died Tuesday at 3:10am. Best guess, bad forced update.

Before trying every command on the internet to save my windows, I made an exact copy of my hard drive.

So, eventually I gave up hope and reinstalled Windows. Now, how exactly do I migrate my Plex from my (Macrium) backup image to the newly installed Windows?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Here’s the official guide on how to migrate an existing PMS to a new setup.

Thank you tom80H.

Any chance you know how to get registry values off a non-bootable system though? Or, is this extra non-mandatory data?

Sorry, I haven’t been using Windows in years.
If you cannot restore the registry data, you probably have to claim the server and your server will appear as a new server (instead of the original one).

I just searched a little more…

Everything is backup and running as it was. Thanks!!
