Abstract
In part, the disclosure relates to systems and methods to rapidly copy the computer operating system, drivers and applications from a source computer to a target computer using a duplication engine. Once the copy is complete the source computer will resume execution, and the target computer will first alter its configuration (also referred to as a role or personality) and then resume execution conforming to its new configuration as indicated by a profile stored in protected or specialized memory. The profile can be value, a file, or other memory structure and is protected in the sense that the profile (and or the region of memory where it is stored) must not be overwritten by a state transfer from the source computer to the target computer.
