And the clone just boots and if there is any reauthorize it never seemed to notify me so that to me has me answer no.
There are dozens of cloning apps today so I've used Apricorn and AOMEI Backupper Standard 5.6 FREE in the past few months.
I want to make backups of the OS drives on my computer's so if I ever have a drive fails, I don't have to reinstall everything and can basically plug in my drive and resume work. I guess I was wondering the best practice for this as some things like drive letters, will windows just work or do I need to reauthorize, etc
