Copying information handling system (IHS) configuration settings between information handling devices may include a first logic unit of a first IHS generating an encoded Quick Response (QR) code corresponding to one or more information handling system configuration settings of the first IHS. A display connected to the first IHS may display the QR code. A camera connected to a second IHS may read an image of the QR code. A second logic unit of the second IHS may decode the information handling system configuration settings from the QR code. The second logic unit may adjust the information handling system configuration settings of the second IHS to match the information handling system configuration settings from the first IHS. In one embodiment the camera may read the image of the QR code from a display of a mobile device held within a field of view of the camera by a user.
