In this video, I will show you how to move an EBS volume from one Windows EC2 instance to another in AWS.

First, we will save some files (like Notepad or PDF) on a Windows EC2 instance. Then, we will detach the EBS volume from that server and attach it to another EC2 instance (Bastion Host). After that, we will access the volume and verify that the data remains.

This is useful when you want to move data between EC2 servers or keep your data safe even if the instance is deleted.

Important Note: EBS volumes only work in the same Availability Zone. If the other EC2 instance is in a different zone, the volume will not show up for attachment.
