nope, the whole switch took me 20 minutes of work and 4 hours of waiting for the backup to be restored (quiet normal, when talking several Gb’s of data).
It was child easy…
what ‘mini’ pc do you use?

I wanted to keep Windows in the internal HD so that if I need a PC, I can still boot this
Thats a good option also if you want that. For me I will install HAOS full on internal ssd when I decide to switch from RPi4 to Bmax B1 Pro
I know it’s an old thread - so just for the record.
I started with openhab in 2018 on a RPi (3 and 4) before I migrated to a NUC (BOXNUC7PJYH2) because of stability issues from the (corrupt) SD-Card.
After migrating to the NUC I moved over from openhab to Homeassistant.
I cannot tell how good HA runs on a RPi, but I am extremly happy with the NUC (8GB RAM / 64 GB SSD).
I know that a lot of people are happy with RPi and SD-cards and there are ways to make it more stable (heavy writing to DB on another drive / NAS), but I think spending a little more on a NUC is worth it,

since couple of weeks now I use a Dell Optiplex 3050. Best choice ever.
Full cold OS boot takes around 5 minutes, maybe less.
A HA restart only done within 30-45 seconds. Based on my 52 integrations.
