Hi. I have and old 2012-2013 HP 270 workstation with a Xeon E3(not sure what generation) loaded with Windows 10 home boot. I'm nterested in a newer SSD(Samsung EVO 860.) I pulled the vanilla boot image off of my HDD, but a friend told me that even with all of the present driver software in the image that I would still have issues with my hardware. I'd really rather not build a system on a newer board, as that takes more money than I would like to spend at the moment.
My question is: is this true? I work in software and as far as my knowledge goes it should work just fine if the boot image has the driver software. Is he referring to memory issues, or specifically board communication issues? Thanks for your help in advance.
