It's typical public B.S. about defense systems, their development and deployment written by morons.
I'd bet the actual 'update capability' refers to C3I sharing of strategic and tactical data in real-time during battle.
Software Zen: delete this;

Developer: Oops, it wasn't supposed crash; it didn't do that in the lab. Ask the user to switch if off again and see if he can recreate the problem. Tell him to hold down the shift-key while it reboots to put it into debug mode.
What about hardware updates... are the engines hot-swappable?

It likely has redundant systems, as it is fly-by-wire and updates are not the only thing that endanger the cyborg.
|
|
|
|
|
Even worse.
Remember that RPM attack that took down Russian Servers based on their location when the Ukraine thing started...
Imagine... The plane is flying a secret mission, the update comes in... And that kind of code is in there...
this kind of stuff...
Or it takes the FOF (Friend or Foe) signal offline, just long enough...
This just SMACKS of a STUPID idea.

So now I will experiment with a Refurbished Computer from eBay.
It's on the way.
My plans for moving the contents of this machine to the other one
- Use an External USB Drive
- On This machine, open a Command Line window
- In that window do this...
G:
CD \
MD WHATEVER
CD \
C:
CD \
XCOPY C: G:\WHATEVER /Q
The two switches I'm wondering about are...
/K Copies attributes. Normal Xcopy will reset read-only attributes.
/J Copies using unbuffered I/O. Recommended for very large files.
Seems like the "/K" switch would be the smart thing to do.
As for the "/J" switch; I just don't know for sure.
I probably haven't done this command in the past ten years, so I could be easily missing some important details
Observations and/or Suggestions on this plan are welcome and invited

I would make a backup of the old drive (AOMEI Backupper, again) and either copy the backup file to the new drive, or to the USB.
You can then either restore it to a new partition, or mount the backup as a virtual drive and copy and paste what you want where you want.
XCOPY tends to fail if it can't copy a single file because it's in use, or hidden, or not yours, or ... just to be annoying sometimes and you won't necessarily now what files have copied OK.
A backup will retain attributes and creating / modification dates as well.

Hold it, I think that you, OriginalGriff, were thinking something similar but not identical, and I came across This...
AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard
Have you (or anyone else reading this) used AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard ?
This looks like exactly what I want to do.
i.e., I will be able to look and choose which previous files I want on my new machine, but the apps won't be active or automatically loaded into weird places of which I'm not aware
(None dare call those things MalWare)
This really looks astounding.

I've used it to "flex" partitions and make them bigger or smaller as needed - and it's worked beautifully for that.
But I've not used it's "disk copy" functions at all.
