Making copies of Wordpress site

Hi there, I'm running Win7 Pro 84 with WAMP 3.0.6 64 bit, Apache 2.4.23, PHP Version: 5.6.25, MySQL Version: 5.7.14.

WAMP is green, and I can use the first Wordpress site I created out with no problem. What I'd like to do is make copies of the initial site and apply different themes to them.

I tried copying the folder
C:\wamp64\www\test

to
C:\wamp64\www\test2

I set up the virtual host, and when I go to localhost/test2, I get the second site, but when I go to:
localhost/test2/wp-admin, it takes me to localhost/test/wp-admin

How do I set this up? Sorry if this is a noob question, but I'm just getting started with WAMP and Wordpress.

Thanks,

T
