I created a Storage Pool in Windows Server 2019, and am looking to move to a Windows 10 environment. A piece of software I am using seems to have better performance in Windows 10.

In Disk Management, Windows 10, does "see" the disks as a "Healthy Protected Storage Pool"

Is there a way to migrate the storage pool over to a Windows 10 machine and access the data?

    Hello @species8472jj

    To access your Storage Pool on Windows 10 environment, you must set the storage pool to read-write and then attach the storage spaces

    Storage Spaces records information about pools and storage spaces on the physical disks that compose the storage pool. Therefore, your pool and storage spaces are preserved when you move an entire storage pool and its physical disks from one computer to another.

    Here is a link for a detailed description of the process that you must follow.
