These instructions omit an important step if you are going to use Python and if the source path and target path are different between the two machines. I don't remember the name of the file, but you will need to update the Python path once you've done the copies so that it points to the Python Path on the target machine. The configuration file is in the same folder as the activate.bat or activate.ps1 files. This relates to the Python virtual environments that are created for each user.
