Moving from a RPI 4 to RPI 5

I’m about to setup HA on a RPI 5.

Can I simply swap my SD card out of my old RPI 4 (currently running HA) into my new RPI 5?

No you can’t. You need to do a fresh install and restore a backup during onboarding.

And the pi5 image is not ready for use yet.

Thanks for that …

but are you saying in any case the RPI 5 cant run HA?

Yes I am. At least not for the Home Assistant OS install method. It is being worked on.

Many thanks for your response. I hadn’t realised it was going to be such a major effort to get the RPI 5 to work with HA.

I’ll be looking at the GIT discussion further :slight_smile:
