Laravel Forge - Move server to a new account (including sites)

I have a Forge account with a business server and a personal server on it.

The business server has 3 sites and the personal one has 2 sites.

At the time (Almost 4 years ago) when I created the forge account I was more interested in just saving the extra $10/month and only having one account. Things have changed and it's now important that I can separate out the business server and personal server into two separate Forge accounts.

I'm wondering if anyone knows if I can move a Forge managed server to a newly created account?

I'm currently working on spinning up a new server on the new account and once it is finished provisioning I am going to try changing the Meta info to point to the old server. But I'm not entirely sure if that will actually include the existing sites as well?

Also, assuming that does work, will I then be able to delete the server on the old account? Or will that also delete the droplet? Is it possible to somehow delete the forge portion of a server but leave the droplet as is?

Any advice is greatly appreciated! I can't seem to find any support on the Forge site anymore, and I think it's because I'm only on the basic plan..."Dedicated Support" seems to be a feature for the higher level plans only now.

Okay, apparently I'm just blind.

If anyone else stumbles upon this with a similar question: at the bottom of the "Meta" section of your server settings (on Forge) is "transfer server" where you can enter the email address of a different account...
