Solved! Mirroring Laptop How-To? (If even possible)

[OhGod]

Hi all!

Is there a way to mirror an ASUS to an MSI? Basically, I would like for the MSI to be as much a duplicate of the ASUS as possible.

I believe that their specs are nearly identical.

If so, how, please?

Thanks!

Not likely. If you clone the disk to the other machine, Windows will no longer be authenticated. Not to mention differences in drivers and such. I'm not aware of a uniform I way to copy settings as various programs do it in different ways. Many use the registry but other use various types of configuration files. I have often wished for what you want to do but have never found a way. Maybe someone else has a suggestion.

Hi Al! Thank you. Yes, it would be amazing to be able to do so.

Windows has a user migration utility that may help you with some things, but not everything. Programs and device drivers for example you would need to install clean if you want things working properly.

Thank you, both. I found a "Todo Transfer" program which at first glance seems to tout itself as being able to do what I'd like, but I haven't really studied it enough to say. If I do happen to use it or find out it can, I will update.
