Cloning with Paragon

FIXME

Troubleshooting

"Windows are not booting"

Most of these cases, you must rebuild the BCD (see: FIXME) and it should work

"Can't share folders to cloned pcs"

Let's assume that we cloned PC A to PC B and we want to share a folder between those two.

The error that you are getting is "Incorrect Username or password" but MICROSOFT USUALLY LIES

This problem occurs because the Machine SID is the same and needs to be reset.

WARNING: Resetting will Reset the Windows Activation Clock (That means it might ask for Windows Activation Key), Remove all Hardware-related drivers (not a problem Windows Update will just reinstall them) and the Most Important and Most Critical is losing the licenses of key-activated software.

According to the top, checking all the keys for your licensed software and taking a backup of you Registry, for fail-safe, is a Must.

Running the powershell command below will start the Machine SID reset process.
C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe /reboot

After the reboot, you will be visited by OOBE. Just create a dummy account, logout, login with the previous admin account, delete dummy account.

Now, you should be able to share between these two PCs
