I have also posted this thread on major geeks.
This has been a bad month for me on the computing front , I have managed to damage 2 very good machines Because of static damage.My old machine was an excellent one until a static zap took out most of the high speed USB ports So I got a new one in and was in the process of setting it up when I'll be darned if I didn't zap it too. It seems that the 2 TB hard drive was dead.after I set up a return on it through Amazon I got this thinking what would happen if that hard drive was still readable with all my personal data on it. So I bought a 2TB SSD HD and cloned my original hard drive onto it using Macrium reflect 8 Home edition (an excellent program I would highly recommend). When I put the newly cloned drive in the second computer it worked. Perfect right ?
Which brings me to my problem I now have two machines on my network with the same user ID and everything else cloned on the second machine . I need to take my old machine which still usable and somehow distinguish it on the network as a different ID. It was kind of a server for all of my other computers. Any ideas as to how my might accomplish this?
It also looks like I'm gonna have to open another teamviewer account which means I need to create a new e-mail address. That may actually relate back to the other problem. At the moment I am getting by by not having both computers on at the same time.
