Sharing W10 recovery images between two identical tablets
First post :)
I have two completely identical tablets (Hipstreet W7 originally on 8.1) in front of me, one (mine) on which Windows 10 was installed via the upgrade route and which is working fine (all drivers etc), the other was a hacked together W10 install that gives lots of errors, missing drivers and blue screens and is basically a mess.
Would it be possible to create a recovery drive from Control Panel on the working tablet and use that to essentially reinstall Windows 10 onto the dodgy one, complete with all drivers etc and so ready to go? Or are recovery images system specific, meaning the image would try to use the working machine's license key etc? I know I could do a fresh reinstall, but I imagine getting a straight copy of a stable, working system would be more efficient, if it's even possible.
I think the licence key is stored in the BIOS, so it should remain intact?
Any help much appreciated!
