User(s) can reproduce this bug

so i have a vm on my pc. i copied it to my laptop.
changed the computer name on it.
installed mesh and it keeps hooking up to mesh with the old computer settings which is already online under the pc vm.

shouldn't the mesh accept the new computer and add it as a seperate one using the name i tell it?

I know the issue is i copied the vm and it must be using something else to mark it as the same other than the name i give it but i already ran newsid on it to change the key of the system znd that didnt make it work.
