Hi Chefs! How would I change my machine ID? I was planning on cloning a few of my "kitchens" but seeing after the first clone it appears the Machine ID goes unchanged, even after uninstalling and re-installing Salad.

The side effect is Kitchen-01 was cloned to Kitchen-02, Kitchen-01 gets a job its gpu kicks in and starts working but also Kitchen-02's gpu kicks in as well.

Each vm has its own dedicated resources, right?

I'm gonna take your word for it, despite your message about them being virtualised in another thread.
You're probably gonna just have to install Windows manually, no cloning or anything, for Salad to fully recognise that it's another machine.

It’s just a random GUID that is generated during install. Technically uninstalling and reinstalling Salad will give you a new MachineID in my experience.

#

It’s not derived from anything as far as I’m aware.

In the hours you've spent figuring out how to avoid re-installing windows, you could've installed windows several times ;)

And gain nothing of knowledge in doing so. The question remains how to change machine id... without clean installing windows

#

No idea. Salad might base stuff off a user's unique windows install, which isn't so unique when you clone drives.

are you virtual machines able to pick up any jobs?

so essentially speaking, i guess one of the ways of changing your machine IDS without like necessarily preforming a clean install is changing out your parts

#

now im not 100% sure if it will or not, but for sure doing a clean install will most likely change your machines ID
