It is not supported to move computers between different systems.
Before v6.0, it was perhaps "doable" for a seasoned technician but not a documented/official procedure.
As of v6.0 when the new System Installer was introduced, a new era of highly automated and unattended installation saw its first light. However, new nodes must be introduced as "clean" having no leftovers from previous installations of System 800xA.
Uninstalling and "cleaning" is not accepted as some of the ABB software and third party requirements simply just allow one successful installation per Microsoft Windows load. Deploying into a system is a point of no return for any given computer.
Therefore, it is strongly recommended to start any installation of a new computer for use with System 800xA with taking a drive image backup. This "golden image" can become a key to success for a later reload in case the installation must be repaired or rather, be made all over again. This procedure is called "Replace Node" and is very automated and reliable after you have come to terms with the new methodology of installing 800xA v6 and onwards.
As before v6, drive images may be reused between compatible hardware and save you from having to install Microsoft Windows from scratch for every occasion.
If you lack suitable images I sincerely recommend to start off with a clean slate. FORMAT C:\.
Having access to Microsoft media, the original ABB System 800xA media and subsequent revisions and rollups or trusted .iso images of the same are fundamental tools.
