Upgrade/change the primary drive

If you need to change the Primary drive, need a larger storage, or convert your Backup drive into Primary drive, you can follow the steps on this guide. 

To convert the primary drive, the new drive needs to be configured as the backup drive to sync all contents and then changing the new drive to primary. 

Only the Owner of Monument can complete this procedure.
