You usually cannot make one computer an image of another unless the hardware
is exactly the same because the hardware abstraction layer in the OS is
different. Even if you did, you would have to have separate licenses for
the OS (also Office and other programs you use). It is no big deal though,
to back up the data files from one computer and restore them to another.
The simpler approach is simply to back up your computer in case something
goes wrong with it.
