Inspiron 3670, two, Repeat Setup

Hi CynthiaG31,

Thanks for posting.

After you've set up and registered each one individually, you can install the other 3rd party software any way you wish.  The time involved in cloning the laptops more than likely would be about the same.  

Here is information from Windows Central you may find helpful.

Hi CynthiaG31,

Unfortunately, since I'm not familiar with either of those programs and Dell systems have not been tested with them, we can not endorse the use of them.

Good Luck and let us know the outcome.

In your earlier response you referred to cloning.  If it wasn't with one of those programs I mentioned - how is it done?

Thank you again.

I've only set up my machines one at a time and haven't cloned them.  The article may have more information than I have available to me.

1. Consumer-class Imaging/Cloning software is a great tool, but only meant to backup an exact machine (and it's licenses, etc.). It's not really meant to be restored to a different machine. That is why you had problems.

2. That is to be expected. I agree with @robert p ... setup each machine individually ... do it right.
