Apologies in advance for this off topic question, but I'm sure someone out 
there has had  a similar issue and solved it.  

My RPi4 ran both Weewx and a program to monitor my solar panels.  The Pi 
died and I've finally managed to get a replacement.  Unfortunately when I 
transfer the SSD card to the new Pi4 I get the messages  “start4x.elf not 
compatible” and “this board requires newer software”.  It appears that the 
replacement RPi requires new firmware.  I tried running  update the 
firmware, use sudo rpi-eeprom-update -d -a  using an other 'old' RPi4 but I 
still get the same  error.      

I could of course start again with a fresh OS installation.  Weewx is not 
the issue as it's relatively straightforward to retrieve my history,  but 
it's the solar panel monitoring program that stops me doing this as I would 
lose my entire history - I cannot figure out where it saves its history to 
as it appears to save data in hidden folders.

My question is, is there a way update my SSD card to allow it to run on the 
newer RPI4  without a full re-install?

Thanks
