Shalom,

The right tool for the job is Golden images.

All the links you need are in that thread.

make_net_recvoery will probaby also work, though the radical difference in hardware will probably present an obstacle.

Re: Retore Ignite to new hardware

I agree with Steven.

make_net_recovery is intended to restore everything that was on the rx2620. You can try this, see if works, but there may be issues.

make_sys_image for 'golden images' makes a more generic image that could work better moving to different models.

Of course you should also consider cold installing your new machine directly with Ignite. Definitely the most straightforward approach.
