I think also in HYPER-V you can keep the same GUUID but I'm not a HYPER-V Guru but it must be do-able. If on a Network change the machine name otherwise you'll have 2 identical named machines on your LAN which can cause all sorts of weird problems with things like file sharing etc etc !!!.įor Virtual machines - no problem moving them around between different hardware and even different HOST OS'es - but if using VMWARE do click the "I Moved it" box rather than the "I copied it" box at first boot of the VM - otherwise VMWARE will create a new machine GUUID which windows will see as a new machine and want activation. I've done this restoring an AMD machine on to an INTEL laptop - works fine - and if the Laptop already had an activated version of Windows you'll probably see that the restored Windows is still activated via digital license. You might need to update manually some drivers - although these days Windows is pretty good at that - just check in device manager what needs updating. Now Boot your restored machine - Windows will try and do some updating etc etc and after a little while it will boot OK. Do this via he stand alone boot recovery media. Then what you need to do probably is go into "Fix Windows Boot problems" before booting the restored machine. Note though you don't even need the PAID version - you can simply restore an image to a different computer.
