I think this is pointless today, but requested video. What do you guys think? let me know below.

[JoshuaMattingly]

Thank you very much Brian. I do not think any of your guides are pointless. They are, and will continue to be very useful. Keep up the good work.

This is a great setup not only to include 3rd party software but to not have to go through the tedious process of installing manually certain software need to allow other softwares to work properly. An example being: browser's, Java, QuickTime, .NET Framework, driver's, VLC, plug-in's, etc.

Great video & tutorial! It's not pointless, in fact quite the opposite for us beginners. Keep it coming, Brian. Thank you

SIMILAR AND PERHAPS EASIER METHOD: I install my programs ("all the usual suspects"), then use an Acronis backup that I save. Yes, it is usually for that particular machine, HOWEVER, Acronis does have an included effective method for restoring a backup to dissimilar hardware, i.e., to a new computer that's pretty straightforward. Great video, Brian, thank you!

Thanks mate! I used this method to image my entire install to transfer it to another drive, because for some reason any cloning software would not work, but this did, and as a bonus now I have a backup of my entire system in case anything ever happens to it :]

Brian, it would help if you circled things, like when you checked to "insert Guest Editions CD image." You went so fast, I couldn't follow you. A larger, perhaps transparent, cursor might have been easier to follow also. Yes, I do realize it takes a lot of time and planning to produce your excellent videos and I very much appreciate what you do! Thank you!!

[FifaEvolutionify]

I was looking for this kind of video from you yesterday and today, and now its here. Thank you

[fadymohsen]

this is never pointless at all. this is really awesome and really appreciated, thanks so much.

[TheEVGuy]

Seriously, thank you for this video. It taught me so much and helped me in my job to get this team more efficient! Thank you again!

Ugh not having a US or UK keyboard while doing this is awful. I have to stare at a picture of the US layout and guess which keys those correspond to on my keyboard.

A hundred steps later... If it's only for inserting applications, the "PatchMy PC" program does the job perfectly. In addition, it installs the most recent versions of the desired applications and this avoids having to repeat all these steps during a new version of Windows.
You always have to balance the amount of effort you put in according to the end result. I regularly install different versions of Windows for my clients and the fewer steps there are, the fewer errors that can slip in and the easier to fix when needed. Simplicity always think of simplicity.
Congratulations anyway for this well done and useful site. 👍👍👍

[danmar]

I think it's still useful. Thanks for taking the time.

[BigHenFor]

Thanks, Brian. One never knows when you might need it.

its an easy way to do it, but tbh I've not used sysprep since I left a working in a production environment 20 years ago where hundreds of machines each week were built with similar configs, sysprep images were deployed multicast with ghost back then, but this is a good way to keep a user profile free install, which can be very useful if your switching platforms, the way you have presented it here also saves someone not used to it setting up ESD MSR & utility/recovery partitions, and getting the boot config right if they are using UEFI properly - I just use a script with positional %variables on the commandline to get the job done, and come back when its finished - I like my coffee! keep it coming

Thank you for this great and easy to understand video. I have 2 questions :
1. I saw you've mentioned that the process be created via VMware instead of Virtualbox, Does it need some special setting in VM for that ? (I ask because you've mentioned guest wrap on the virtualbox which I'm not familiar with).
2. I understand that it helps creating the image with the installed program but WITHOUT registry changes I've made to the system or shortcuts I've created on the desktop and updates applied to the OS ?
Thank you !

[raadgiveren]

Just what I have been looking for! Thank you so much, Brian 😊😊

Its necessary, Win10 is what Win7 was for years for many users that doesnt need massive new protection but win11 would cripple their pcs

[supermorph]

I used to think sysprep used to remove the apps that wasn't Microsoft ones.

So this is handy as I can create a custom iso of a completed setup and have auto restore iso/usb for customer pcs

[BasherHamade]

thanks a lot, actually this video is very helpful for people like me who is forced to install windows for a lot of people i know and i don't want to redo the same postinstalling windows softwares progress
