Hello,

I have a K850 keyboard and a M720 mouse (bought as a combo) with a unifying receiver.

I have a laptop with is my main working computer and a secondary desktop. I also have another unifying receiver at my disposal.

I had an idea to connect the wireless set to both computers using two unifying receivers and switch between them because the keyboard and mouse supposedly support multi devices.

After originally pairing it with the unifying receiver connected to my laptop, I connected the second receiver to the desktop and used the unifying software to pair them also with this receiver. It seemed to work, but then I noticed it doesn't switch between devices. It only worked with the new pairing. I checked in the unifying software, and it was still paired with both, but it's like the device switching button on the keyboard doesn't affect it at all. I repaired it with the laptop and then tried again, and the behavior was the same.

Looking on the web, it seems like what I had in mind should work. What am I missing here? Is it possible a Logitech device could only be actively paired with a single receiver and the other multi-device available are for Bluetooth and such?

Appreciate your feedback!

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to figure out an imaging software solution for work but can't find my way.

Our company develops and manufactures machines that have an integrated Windows-based computers. Service engineers will occasionally be required to restore an image on this computer. It's an identical image for all machines of the same type. We have multiple types of machines, while each type has its own image.
The image is created in a central location (the engineering team in HQ) but service engineers all across the world may be required to restore it. Most of them don't even belong to our company but are resellers'.
Today we use Clonezilla, but the typical service engineer who maintain our machines is someone who feels good with his toolbox, not with software, so they really struggle with Clonezilla, and I'm looking for a more friendly solution. We also can't allow ourselves to require each service engineer to buy a license for this image restore software.

I have no problem getting the budget for a software solution for our HQ, even if it's very expensive, but I need a solution that will also allow all of our service engineers to restore it without being required to buy a license.

I approached Macrium sales as I like their products, but they don't have any offering that can cover this. I also contacted Acronis which are less favorable but still user-friendly, and they also don't have anything.

Anyone here familiar with any other product that can meet our needs?
