It wasn't my machine, it was a story on reddit, and hardware was changed.  For my installation, there was a transfer of the files as-is from one hard drive to a bigger one, more ram, change of graphics card, but thats it.

It isn't necessary to pick this apart.  The simple point of the matter is that one can simply keep updating, and that this can work and provide continuity.
