mirgrate Array from ReadyNas 204 to a Readynas 516?

I can I mirgrate my Array from a ReadyNas 204 to a Readynas 516? I realie one is ARM and the latter is x86.  However they are both running 6.6.0

 

 

I migrated my array from a 104 to my 204, so i realize that there is a  procedure (that works within the same CPU architecture).  

 

If not ready to copy everything off and make a fresh start--just alot more work.

 

thanks

    You can, but some apps won't work afterwards.  So it's best to simply uninstall all the apps, and then reinstall them afterwards.

     

    It's great that Netgear does that migration - and not simple, since as you say the platforms are completely different.
