Windows clone Virtualbox

Recently working with virtualbox and windows. I didnt think it was possible to clone a vbox windows due to the hardware id, but happly I was wrong

First determine the unique id of the virtual machine you have setup

VBoxManage showvminfo

UUID: xxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxx

VBoxManage clonevdi -- create a copy of the virtual machine
VBoxManage modifyvm --hardwareuuid -- Modify the vm unique identifier, set this to the source UUID found by the showvminfo command
