Overview
EJBDESK is 6 years old and will not run any Microsoft OS beyond Windows 10. It is also obsolete in other ways, particularly the boot drive, which is a SATA SSD, and a 6th generation Core i5 processor with 4 cores. I am replacing it with a Lenovo S3 tower workstation that I bought through the Intel Retiree purchase plan with a pretty good discount on April 9, 2024.
Hardware
Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tower Workstation. This is a full size tower, so there is room to add stuff
- 13th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-13500 vPro® Processor
- Memory: 2 x 16 GB DDR5-4400MHz (UDIMM)
- 2 x DataPort to HDMI dongle. My monitors have DataPort inputs, but these dongles are $25 for two, so if I don't use them, they might be handy to have on hand.
- M.2 SSD Gen4 boot drive (1TB)
- Integrated ethernet and graphics (no extra hardware)
- No WiFi, no keyboard, no mouse.
- 3 in 1 card reader for camera cards ($5)
- 2 x Storage kits for installing my 4TB Raid 1 content storage.

File Transfers
There are a lot of files in my user area and on the C drive that need to be copied over. Doing this with an external ssd as a sneakernet. My main content is on the V: drive, a software RAID that I will physically move to the new computer.
- User area files:
Lots of documents going back through history. This needs to be cleaned up, but for now, I am just moving them over.
