Restoring to different PC with identical hardware

Thread solved

I have a validated Acronis backup from PC #1 with Windows 10. I do not have a backup for PC #2 with identical hardware.

How can I use the backup from PC #1 to restore PC #2 without de-activating Windows on PC #2? I would customize the system name on PC #2 before allowing the PC back on the network. 

 

Thoughts?

If both PC's have previously been activated for Windows 10 with the same edition, i.e. both activated for Win 10 Home, then there shouldn't be an issue with restoring a backup of PC #1 to PC #2 as the latter should reactivate Windows based on its own hardware signature.
