+What launch does, it to take you through an identical process to when you create a new EC2 Instance.

+Chose an instance type, select <color #ff7f27>t2micro</color> (free tier) and then select Next: <color #ff7f27>Configure Instance Details</color>.

+Unless you have a good reason, there are no changes required here. Select <color #ff7f27>Next: Add Storage</color>.

+I normally accept the defaults here, but I do change from SSD to Magnetic. Select <color #ff7f27>Next: Add Tags</color>.

+\\
+**Add Tags.**

+Here we have to open any ports that we were using for the instance we copied earlier. I was using port 80 as my EC2 Instance was a web server.
+\\
+\\
+Add any relevant ports then select <color #ff7f27>Review and Launch</color>.
+\\
+\\
+You will get a warning about storage.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :aws_move_instance_017.jpg?600 |}}
+\\
+Because we selected magnetic, we see this page. I have been using magnetic for a few weeks and have not yet incurred any costs.
+\\
+\\
+Select <color #ff7f27>Next</color>.
+\\
+\\
+After all the settings pages you will see a **confirmation page**.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :aws_move_instance_018.jpg?900 |}}
+\\
+Select <color #ff7f27>Launch</color>.
+\\
+\\
+Because this is a new EC2 Instance, we need to create a new Key Pair.
+\\
+\\
+{{ :aws_move_instance_019.jpg?600 |}}
+\\
+Select <color #ff7f27>Create a new key pair</color> and enter a <color #ff7f27>Key pair name</color>.
+\\
+\\
+Select <color #ff7f27>Download Key Pair</color>. (Don't lose the key, you will permanently lose access to your EC2 Instance.)
+\\
+\\
+Select <color #ff7f27>Launch Instances</color>.
+\\
+\\
+If you check the status of your EC2 Instance, you will see the following:
+\\
+\\
+{{ :aws_move_instance_020.jpg?900 |}}
+\\
+The Availability Zone (AZ) has now changed to the region you selected. Your IP will also have changed, as IPs can't be moved between AZs you will have to update your DNS settings, also if you use Elastic IP Addresses, you will have to recreate new ones for this AZ.
