Thank you all for enlightening me about cloning. 

My question was naive because I never thought Ray would have used a 
specialized cloning program, as I never used such a program on Linux, where 
installation is so swift and easy (as opposed to M$) and doing fresh install 
of new versions gave me some training on how to set my preferences back in the 
various apps I use.
