Windows 11 Pro 23H2
I bought a new mini PC. Nice little box from Minis Forum. It has 2 network ports one of them is dead. Minis says send it back they'll send me another. If I make a Windows image of the one I have now can it be put on the replacement PC and activate properly or would it actually be better to just start all over again?

Use the backup image and restore.
It might be wise to deactivate the defective system on the MS account page and reactivate the new one.

Never set up a MS account on it :-) so I should be golden! Thanks for the reply!

AND I'll do a full reset on the defective unit before I ship it back!
