Great - worked on government networks for a long time and the 3 things that will stop communication dead are same name/IP/MAC address. Else, computers are really gregarious and want to talk with each other.
I think what happened is the computer named itself using names I provided, and of course I provided the same name years apart.
LOL I remember that thread.

Thanks for letting us know. It has been a while since I used the windows easy transfer (usually I use Acronis) so you’ve confirmed that it is actually copied your data files and didn’t just move them as stated in the windows FAQ.
“How do you transfer every bit of data on an old drive to something like this 1TB drive ro replace the old drive in your desktop??”
I use Acronis http://www.acronis.com/en-us/ for disk image backups (cloning), but there are other similar products. Some free and some not.
Lol I remember that thread
