I have had my HASS server hosted from a ras pi 4 for at least 2 years now, and it works great. But I also have a separate server that hosts a Plex server that needs upgraded, and a windows machine that runs dedicated gaming servers like Minecraft, Ark, etc. I am looking to merge these machines onto one PC. I am wondering what best practice would be to migrate HASS and what my setup should be. I would assume that the most popular option is to run linux or windows with Plex and HASS in VMs but I have little experience with VMs and Docker, so I would like to avoid it. I have a machine running windows that I would like to migrate to. I am open to any criticism or "just learn docker, idiot."

for HA migration itself, you just create a full backup (making sure you also have the encryption key for it) then can restore it during onboarding of a fresh install somewhere else.
As for running multiple things on a single server...VM's and Containers are the way to go. using a proper hypervisor like proxmox.
exact plans will depend on exactly what resources each task needs.
also dont most gaming servers have linux versions? i am not sure why the windows requirement for that.

You're right for the linux stuff, but man windows is just easier sometimes
