I understand how to transfer the disks from the old NAS to the new, but presumably will need to change Minim Server/Streamer/Watch to reflect the new processor type (and Java too?).

Is there an idiot's guide to doing this, or is is just a matter of uninstalling the old package and reinstalling a new one once I've transferred the disks?

I would be surprised if you could transfer the disks without installing the correct version of DSM for the new model of NAS. When you install the new version of DSM, you will lose all your previously installed packages (including MinimServer and Java) and you will need to reinstall them.

If you have customized the default MinimServer properties, you will need to apply your custom settings after reinstalling MinimServer. To make sure this goes smoothly, you should make a careful note of your current settings.
