New PC (used) just moved SSD and boot!

I just got my new used PC and moved the SSD with my Devuan install and success! It booted right away!

Newer Bios:es are scary with Secure Boot, UEFI, TPM and stuff but I looked thru the bios settings beforehand and legacy boot seemed activated.

This is my DAW machine and everything worked; second HD, USB audio card, ethernet, and best of all - both my screens worked as well. Almost no config  at all.

It's an HP PRODESK 600 G2, i7. Bought it from a company for about 250 EUR/260 USD.

So Devuan is the thing!

Welcome. Devuan also works fine in efi mode, you just have to get used to it and the slight differences in behaviour and tooling.
