Server Version#:1.23.3.4707
Player Version#:4.57.4
I just set up Plex on my laptop and find that I can’t leave it running all the time. I’m going to move it over to an older laptop that I can leave up. New laptop is running WIN 10. Older one runs WIN 8.1. Will I be able to move everything over or should I just start over on the different laptop? Can I simply set up a new server and delete the older one? I only have a few movies on it at the moment so it might be a good time if that’s possible.
I suppose you should be ok to move the setup. Windows-to-Windows should be relatively simple, even if the versions don’t match.
Just make sure you follow the procedure described in the related support article
You should check if you can update Windows to version 10. Most Windows 8 system actually can be updated free of charge.
Because Windows 8.1 is out of support for years now: Windows 8.1 - Microsoft Lifecycle | Microsoft Docs
There are no patches available for newly found security issues after that date.
Connecting such a system to the internet (which is what you will be doing when you install Plex on it) is irresponsible.
Thanks
