Gap updated on Jul 02, 2024 to Todo Backup Guide | How-to Articles

In an organization or company, configuring multiple PCs with the same system settings can greatly enhance productivity and ensure consistency. This article aims to elucidate the procedure of leveraging EaseUS Todo Backup Enterprise to accomplish this objective.

Difficulties in Setting up Multiple Computers With Same Configuration

Time and labor costs
Configuring multiple computers is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. Each computer needs to be individually configured, including installing the operating system, setting up software, establishing network connections, and adjusting system parameters.

Maintenance and updates
Once the computers are configured, maintaining and updating them becomes challenging. For instance, installing new software or updating the operating system requires doing so for each computer individually.

Differentiated requirements
Since most hardware requires the installation of a corresponding driver to function properly, users cannot simply transfer their system to a new machine with a different hardware configuration and expect it to work as it did before due to the absence of necessary hardware drivers. 

Synchronization issues
Configuration changes may occur for various reasons, such as computer failures or personnel changes. To ensure consistency, it is crucial to synchronize the configurations of multiple computers in a timely manner.

To address these difficulties, it is advisable to utilize powerful software that simplifies the configuration process. For example, EaseUS Todo Backup Enterprise can be utilized to establish identical configurations on numerous computers.

Once the restoration process is successfully finished, you can proceed to restart your computer, detach the WinPE bootable media, and configure the computer to boot from the desired drive. If you need to execute this task on multiple computers, employing the technician license of EaseUS Todo Backup Enterprise will enable you to perform a single backup, generate one emergency disk, and utilize said disk to restore the image on all of your computers.

FAQs

1. Can I use my Windows license on multiple computers?
You're allowed to reuse such a key on different computers. (However, you can't use a single license on multiple computers simultaneously.) So if you build a whole new PC, you can move the license over to it with no hassle.


2. How do I transfer Windows updates from one computer to another?
Updates cannot be transferred from one computer to another. You can download and update the computer by checking if the updates are released for that computer by Checking for updates under Updates & Security.


3. Do I have to buy another copy of Windows OS if I want to install it on another computer?
You do not have to buy another copy of Windows if you want to install it on another computer. You only need to perform a universal restore using EaseUS Todo Backup Enterprise.


4. How can I deploy a system on multiple computers simultaneously?
EaseUS Disk Copy Server can assist you in creating a clone image and deploying it to multiple PCs using the PXE service. This technology allows users to save a significant amount of time by avoiding repetitive configuration of the cloning task.
