Restoring from a disk image

There maybe a issue.
The image you take from the previous device will be activated based on the hardware ID of that PC.
even though its a identical device the hardware ID will be different but saying that both PC's are activated for W10 use so you might get away with it as if it doesn't show as activated it may activate once it tries to check as that hardware ID is W10 ready.
this is just my guess to be honest, why not just do a clean install of W10 using the tool?

Thanks for the reply.
The reason I don't want to clean install is that I'm looking at doing this to multiple devices. I bought a Win10 tablet at work to test, and I'd now like to deploy 10-15 of them. It would be much quicker to restore them all from a master image than to set them all up individually.
