How to automagically rewrite udev rules files

[J.W. Foster]

I was trying to get rid of a crap load of the boot errors that were being generated on my system after I installed a new motherboard on a multi-OS boot computer with 3 Debian installations on separate drives with one other drive with Windows 10  for a total of 4 drives. Windows and 2 of the Debian drives boot OK even with all the errors, one does not boot so that is another issue that will likely require a clean install.  I decided to follow some web instructions and remove the  file  "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules  " , It was supposed to be automagically regenerated after I reboot the machine. That does not work. Anyone know the way to get this to work. I have tried several commandline techniques using;

sudo udevadm trigger
sudo udevadm trigger --action=add
udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger

None of these worked. No file was generated.

Any tips at all are appreciated.

/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules is not supported anymore. See
/usr/share/doc/udev/NEWS.Debian.gz.

I move drives with multi systems all the time AMD to Intel and back, all
I need do is install drivers and firmware, I can do that from command
line and reboot to desktop. Have you done that?

As for the windows, <if> you can remove all the devices from the device
manager and reboot it should reload the new devices.

Have you thought about installing legacy grub to one of those drives so
you can write them all to menu?
