I have 2 identical HP i5 desktops running 8.1 which was updated from 8.
I want to put a cloned drive from computer A in the other computer B so they will appear identical with all the apps etc.
I am told that I will get a configuration error in computer B because the product key in BIOS won't match.
If this is true how can I solve this.
Will the computer even run with this error to allow me to fix it?
I am told to get a toolkit called the Microsoft toolkit which allows extraction and insertion of keys.
I think that approach would let me make computer B product key be the same as A.
But in doing this I would lose the valid key in computer B.
I would like to change the product key in the cloned drive to be correct for computer B.
Can someone tell me how to do this please?
