XG Firewall Home registration assistance... trying to upgrade to newer hardware

SF01V (SFOS 17.0.6 MR-6) << booted and loaded unable to register

Tried newest firmware ISO ...

SW-17.5.12_MR-12-664 downloaded iso but boots with no bootable device on this new hardware.

New Hardware: Intel i7 8550U 8GB DDR4 RAM dual Intel NICs Sata 160GB hard disk... VT-x is set in BIOS
BIOS is American Megatrend

I am trying to upgrade my hardware and continue running XG Firewall Home
that I have running on very old Pentium4 ver: SFVH (SFOS 17.5.11 MR-11.HF051220.1)
