Thanks smckeown777.

Anyone else have anything to add before I close the question?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I just want to confirm a theory.<br />
<br />
I have 10 computers. I want to build 1, then clone it and apply the image to the other 9. All computers have similar hardware, but the first one (with the &quot;master image&quot;) has a slow CPU. I can only use this slow PC for the master image (long story.)<br />
<br />
I'm guessing that applying the image to a computer with a much faster CPU would be fine, right? I'm not slowing down the faster PCs by applying an image from a slower PC? Right?<br />
<br />
If it's relevant, I'll be using &quot;Macrium Reflect Free&quot; (other suggestions welcome)<br />
Thanks!<br />

stupid question about imaging - slow to fast PC

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.
