Best way to clone windows VM in GCP
Looking to see what's the best way to clone a domain joined VM with pre-installed software? I have a Windows 10 VM domain joined with software installed that I would like to clone. I have tried taking a snapshot and then deploying an instance based on that snapshot, but it creates a new VM with the snapshots VM name and SID. Thoughts or how is everyone else doing this?

I would recommend building a Windows image for your instance, Windows snapshots can have duplication issues. see this documentation on how to create an Windows image [1]
