I have a mini pc with a M.2 nvme drive used for the OS (Proxmox) and another SATA drive used to store VMs on that machine.
I have found that the nvme drive I used is not big enough and I have also partitioned it inefficiently, so I bought a new, larger one to replace it.
My question is, if I remove both existing drives, and do a clean install of a new Proxmox OS on the new drive, will I later be able to put the old drives back and continue running the old installation (just in case something goes wrong with the new install)?
Or will something in the hardware be overridden by the new installation?
