Question Is there a way to remove duplicate bluetooth devices in file transfer window from restored drive image?

I did ultimately resort to a clean install, as much as I was hoping to avoid it -- those duplicates are just a weird holdover that wouldn't go away no matter what I tried. Thanks anyway!

Is it possible to restore image from one Surface Pro 4 to another?

Thank you very much for the information! So given this is just a personal one-time (hopefully) thing, should I just do a clone?

Possible to transfer disk image from one pc to another?

I have two pc's, one Dell Inspiron and another Lenovo Yoga -- both are running Windows 8.1 with all updates. Would it be possible to transfer a disk image from the Dell to the Lenovo? I created the image using the built-in Windows Disk imager. Or maybe another software would do the trick...

Actually, a 'rooted' Nook Color turned out to fit my needs perfectly -- I think at $240, a fully functioning android tablet would suit a lot of people. I never would have thought of this myself -- thanks:)

In that case, I guess I'll just do my best to get my 4850 up to snuff. Hopefully I just need to get an additional fan on it or something...even though artifacting at 85 degrees celsius isn't generally normal, right? I thought GPUs could handle that sort of heat...

My current Radeon 4850 512MB, which has performed very well for just over 2 years, has started to crap out on me. It could just be the fan that is failing and causing artifacting to happen in games where it never happened before. But maybe I should just use this as a reason to upgrade my card...
