- Create Custom Windows 10 Image With Applications Pre-installed
Many people ask how to add apps to windows 10 image, so when you install windows 100, it installs all your software and applications during the installation process.
dism -h
dism /capture-image -h
You will need to edit this command to your drives:
dism.exe /capture-image /ImageFile:"D:\install.wim" /CaptureDir:C:\ /Name:win10apps /compress:max

I think this is pointless today, but requested video. What do you guys think? let me know below.
I would have to agree..Install win 10 on a machine with all your apps.. boot to Sergi strelec,gandelf or hirens..clone to external SSD as many as you need..Loads of different cloning options..Love your channel and have been following for years but just agree with what you said above no disrespect to anyone just an opinion
Definitely not pointless! This is awesome! I never knew this could be done 😄
For the guys in the know this might be useless but for us juniors it's nice to see how it's all constructed .
That way I get a better understanding it will give me the confidence to go more advanced.
Thank's Brother For Accept My Request!💝
@@paddiedelaney cloning also clones the unique SID of each installation and sometimes that does NOT play well on a network - having identical SIDs. therefore sysprepping the installation then immediately cloning is ideal. this way each clone will boot up to a generalized instance and into OOBE for custom settings.
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.
Glad you like them!
@@Britec09 does sysprep only image the C drive or all the drives? I have Ubuntu (wsl) on a D drive.
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.
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!
You're welcome
Great video & tutorial! It's not pointless, in fact quite the opposite for us beginners. Keep it coming, Brian. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
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 :]
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. 👍👍👍
Cheers for that, have just checked reviews and it's all that you say 👍👍
@@jonnyshoestring9368 Thank you sir! 😃
The problem with patch my PC and the like is that you're getting content from a predefined set of locations and you don't know what's being installed or how it's being installed. Your best bet is just to get your programs and/or drivers manually. Sure, it's slower, but you have more power over what you install and how you install things.
@@seediffusion Thank you for your comment. I checked in the log file and the downloads are going directly to the different app sites and not just one site.
I am interested into such image that will not only pre-install apps that I needed, rather the OS Configs we required.
Also, some sort of automation that install drivers for each pc according to the model.
At end, we only have to run our winstallation media, and boom, just go and use your PC! and everything is up to date already.
Any thoughts on that?
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!!
Thanks for the tip!
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.
this is never pointless at all. this is really awesome and really appreciated, thanks so much.
I was looking for this kind of video from you yesterday and today, and now its here. Thank you
Its necessary, Win10 is what Win7 was for years for many users that doesnt need massive new protection but win11 would cripple their pcs
Microsoft have never made an os from scratch
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
Hi, would you be kind enough to walk me through your script commands?
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!
Still hasn't tried, but i don't think is pointless at all. As a person that works in IT, and have to install Win10 several times a week, this will save me a lot of time.
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
Estimado señor, ¡Excelente manera de explicación! Le estoy muy agradecido, señor. Saludos, Basavaraj de la India.
I think it's still useful. Thanks for taking the time.
You're welcome!
Not pointless at all this great for people like me who are still beginning all this stuff so cheers for that
Thanks
Thanks, Brian. One never knows when you might need it.
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
spent 2 days looking and researching for this exact solution thank you!!!!
Makes me wish that the Microsoft Transfer Wizard was still around. 😀 I still have the cable somewhere in a box of old stuff.
I remember that
Here's a tip: don't include apps in iso, instead make a post-install script that downloads and installs programs. I made one in C#.
Tech me 🙏🏻
I'm pretty sure there is a built in app that does this in the system32 folder, but I forgot what its called. It removes your user acconut and its like a windows reset, but it leaves all drivers and installed programs.
Just what I have been looking for! Thank you so much, Brian 😊😊
if the applications have an MSI installer i remember you could add them to a folder on the resulting USB drive and with the unnatended txt file have them install with the rest of the OS... but that may be for an older version of Windows
I just realized this video is having a birthday soon!
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 !
exactly what i asked for. thank you!
Dear Sir,
Great way of explanation!
I am very heartily thankful to you sir.
Regards,
Basavaraj from India.
Man thanks a lot. In our company we need to reinstall on every pc some software and these custom images are a big time savef 👍
For my own computers, I use an easy method .....
Backup or clone the whole installation from one computer,
and restore it to another.
After then I use iObit Driver Booster Portable to install the right driver, and the whole system works within half an hour !!
Very usefull for a new guy into the virtual field. Thanks a lot Brian! 🎯
he is dan
dan the man
when your cursor went still at 11:00 i put my own cursor on top of it and pretended we were holding hands
it would definitely be handy for me... Once I dust off my dvd-rws at home, I think I'll make template ISOs for the basic necessities on each OS. Save me time when I switch.
Thanks for the tutorial, I've been trying to figure out how to do this for days
I kept getting erors when I did this my laptop has some proprietary hardware on it where you have to connect an enthernet cable to it just for windows update to install the wifi driver and everything else.
There is a problem when I install customized Windows. I must log in with a new account, and the first account also remains present within Windows. Thus, there are two accounts in Windows. Can I modify the copy in that the user does not add an account because it was already added when I customized the copy?
This doesn't work, first Sysprep threw an error, but i solved it, secondly, when i extracted the wim and embedded it into the iso and tried to install it, it was showing an error “Can not show image…”
My god. I first though you were SpaceInvaderZero when I heard your voice. Very easy to understand directions. Thanks
Hi, this is like cloning? Or is a really fresh install with apps and without register error? i used to see an old windows 7 iso who installed softwares while installing windows (during setup process). So it was really a fresh install + fresh install software, and not just a VHD clone who run under window setup installed (so the HD get cloned)
Thank you. For learning purpose, I needed to know this process.
It worked! Thanks!
I have 2 questions:
- Is it possible to create a image from after-instalation? the windows asks to create a new admin user and those annoying questions.
- Is there a problem with the OEM licence keys? Sysprep ignore the old key?
there is a problem, which is when i install other pc using this customized preinstalled software + windows 10 iso, the pc is not activate automatically. I am using digital license activation(DLA) version windows 10 pro
you should try dism"++" it has a GUI, you can customize settings , and debloat it ,add drivers under the same app and has repair image / boot ..under the save image as, and you can save to esd swm wim, multiple compression. and if you use the msix app to capture the registry when installing you can simply copy paste app files and import registry ;) or just copy and remember to make a shortcut, but i install a clean image , tweak the settings . import rreg rweaks and startup some debloaters ssds boosters etc and have a custom wim under 15mins with my fav apps tweaked to the bone.. then i save . or windows nt is a good one + you can half the time and save the hassle of going thru settings , recovery etc ...its not like that mag tool its a exe file no need of a usb ..to install or backup. you can install wim straight off skip the oobe and capture as is... then i add rollback rx it lets you snapshot your windows and revert it like a VM but on bare metal
your comment will be much more helpful if you didnt butcher a lot of words. Need to fix a lot of grammar and spellings.
@@tango_gru yea ...my bad ,i have a broken backspace button, so i just posted as is.but yepp i recommend it..its my go to app
@@saviorvx1883 though I badly wish Microsoft had given it a better name. Does not sound like a windows tool but something to do with porn 🤣

Awating her reaction'' i mean yesss? ... besides they screw over there customers im sure they rub there nipps like that south park episode about cable ''Ohhh you dont like us spying im sorryyyy... oh waitt were the only players that do free..RUB RUB
@@tango_gru Well, then you can fall over everything. Savior VX thank you very much for your extensive explanation. And believe me, there are more people who appreciate it instead of those who are brief 😉 Many people have little computer knowledge and I know from experience that it is good to give a broader explanation.
Hi,
Thanks for the video. I also wanted to add a pre-configured user profile.
Can I do that once I am on the Win PE part?
Also, if I already have a bootable image file with installed apps and user profile, do you know if that bootable file can still be edited to add another pre-configured user profile to the image or I have to do another one from scratch?
after convert to iso and start install windows error : windows could not collect information for {OSImage} since the specified image file [install.win] does not exist
Is someone is unable to access the boot order menu like me, just make sure efi is enabled in settings and secure boot is disable. then spam esc when the machine starts
Also, the Microsoft Office you have listed, is that a one time payment or just a subscription?
Is there any reason why we couldn’t just create an image, with say Acronis or Clonezilla, run sysprep, then just restore that same image to a different computer?
Can we do that?
Brian, first of all, congratulations on the video, that's exactly what I needed here at work, I'm just having a problem....
After the whole process was done, I went to install it on a physical machine and that's when the problems appeared...
During the installation process, all the options appeared again (connection type, user account creation, if the configuration is for personal or corporate use...)
Within Windows I verified that the wallpaper and other settings were not imported. Do you have any idea what could have happened?
i can probably use this to preinstall drivers on a duel gpu laptop, the main screen is broken and the discrete will only display to hdmi if it has drivers installed
I knew this already but its still well documented.
and what do i do if i want a windows iso that has a custom user folder name option in it?.. like that is the most annoying thing for me whenever i do a clean install of win10.. having to go to the registry and change out all the user folder paths with the new chosen name and then just hope nothing got corrupted.. while signed in to both the account i intend to change as well as the built in admin one to change the folder itself.. (no i will not just go and use a local account instead..) i hate that microsoft made it ao difficult to have a custom name on the user folder... i prefer having a custom name instead of my real name as i don't feel like giving it to a bunch of ppl whenni take screenshots of my file explorer or file paths inside scripts when trying to get help with game stuff.. i use my pc for gaming and coding which means that sometimes i have to share my stuff to get help and i don't like having to ho through and sensor my real name all the time..
also do this method let me choose what apps windows automatically installs as well?.. like skype and TikTok and those other apps that geta auto installed and pinned in the start menue?
i personally always go and uninstall them right away as i have no use of them at all... wish they didn't get installed in the first place.
Just so you know, i needed this!
Useful if some of your apps don't often receive updates then sure integrate then, also depends how often you reinstall your Windows OS.
When i create the new partition on shutdown it gets removed and put back into only one partition. Why
i just make a wds image for my environment by taking help from your video, thanks.
FYI I was having a command-line missing problem, | dism /capture-image /ImageFile:"D:\install.wim" /CaptureDir:C:\ /Name:Win10App /compress:max | , This line only worked for me when typed out like this | DISM.exe /Capture-Image /ImageFile:"D:\install.wim" /CaptureDir:C:\ /Name:Win10App /compress:max | , Not sure if anyone else had this problem or not.
Edit: Just realized you had it in the description lol.
Having trouble where when I go to install it says the images are not available to be displayed? Anyone else?
Thank you for the video! Curious why WinPE is needed, does DISM require the captured OS to be offline?
Hello,
i have this issue while using DISM via winPE
Error 1062 the service has not been started and does not move more than 1.0%
Excellent video, cheers Brian
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi upon running sysprep i am getting this error "sysprep unable to validate your windows installation" any solution to this ??
I always wanted to learn how to do this
Thank you!!
I'm still wrestling with the monthly Windows 10 21H2 update from 3 weeks ago - still haven't managed to install it. Over the weekend I will try expanding the partition the updates use through the Aomei partition assistant. I've tried everything else!
If that doesn't work I may look into installing a ChromeOS in my laptop to replace Windows. The amount of downtime caused by Windows updates each month is getting unacceptable.
Ask for help on my discord server
@@Britec09 Thanks Brian. I've done some initial homework and downloaded the partition assistant. I've looked and there seem to be 2 partitions to work with, so I think I need to identify which one is used for the updates, and then expand it.
Great video. Can I change the wallpaper background to be pre-installed with this method?
You can open the VMs disk image with 7-Zip to get the .wim
Too many thanks, this will help me.
This procedure can pre-install system drivers and printers?
wow ...got loss at now do this ! not PC savy here . welldone anyway .I shall come back and look again . Virtual drive I do have a hartime to do that step I get confuse easy hey after all am 74 years old . ☺
Would this work the same way for install files and folders? For example, I want to have a folder already pre-made WITHOUT the applications already installed.
I have an question.
If i change wallpaper and customize that windows 10 installation and then build the iso, will the wallpaper and other things be preinstalled?
I need prefect windows 10 + App. 100+ Pcs unit pc to format everydays. if i get the best iso. take less time to format.
@@tiputipu9355 Ok but post-install script will make the iso smaller in size because it downloads installer if you code it like that
@@justrex5292 Im not IT-guy. i follow the tutorial and try to understant. Can u share any reference how to do the auto install app script?
@@tiputipu9355 Learn basics of programming
Hello, thanks for this amazing tutorial. I still need some help if it possible.
I've tried to capture an image after sysprep, and I have created an answer file (autounattend.xml). I managed to skip most of the settings, the only pending thing being the new user creation (because of the OOBE) when I deploy the image on another system. The reason I want to skip that, is because I have already defined users (admin and non-admin) on the system I've cloned, and I don't want to be prompted with creation of another user.
What I want is just to deploy the image, and to have a system identical to the one from where I captured the image. I know clonezilla can create this image, but then the security identifiers are not cleaned (generalized) as would sysprep do, which may cause issues when deployed on another system.
I saw that SkipMachineOOBE and SkipUserOOBE are deprecated and I cannot figure out a way to do that.
Can you please help me with that?
Thank you in advance!
What difference is there in installing Windows on a client's machine, then using Paragon to make an iso of that system that already has everything and putting it on Ventoy is much easier
Thanks this helps allot :) now i can finally make a decent windows install :)
I've been wanting this for a very long time, thank you for this fantastic tutorial!
My question is: is it also possible in Win11Pro?
I would be happy to hear from you, thank you in advance: V. Martins
When i try to sysprep after installing my software the error said
Sysprep was not able to validate your windows installation
Please help me
When I do this with Windows 11 there is no drive letter assigned to the main partion or the image storage partition, I have to use DiskPart to assigned one. I know that VirtialBox turns on EFI to replicate UEFI.
Anyone else have this issue?
How've I repaired computers for years without knowing this... though I would clone an ssd to new hard disks expand the memory, install drivers and change windows key.
am wondering How the apps drive went from *F letter to D?
What about pre-activation of serial numbers, or creating with volume licensing? yes, I am lazy.
I get error 5 access denied.
There is only 1 account and its the one I'm using which has full admin rights.
So if you get a new PC you still have to install windows from fresh, transfer your windows key somehow then reload all of your software.
I assume you can just make a clone copy and put it in your new PC.
How can i remove SID with Sysprep to make Windows Image WITHOUT Creating NEW USER ?
When I start to make the virtual OS it starts for about 10 seconds then aborts on it's own.
your work is amazing. I want to create an image of my lenovo laptop so i can install the os with patches and other softwares on similar other lenovo laptops as we usually deploy multiple machines for new employees. In this case, can i use the vm method or can i sysprep the laptop and then use hirenbootcd and boot from usb and create a .wim file and save it to my usb or external HDD
I wouldn’t do this cause those apps will be outdated again in a month or so. Do a clean install then make an image. Install apps then go back to clean image when apps are updated
Thank you , great job!
Great video, much appreciated.
This video is saving my life today. Does this work on different hardware than the device I captured the image on?
yes the sysprep prepare the image to work on other devices by removing all system-specific configuration data
Hi Brian, the programs that u choose and get installed, that u pick from the lists in ninite, are they just executables? coz u said u can just go to the various websites??
How can i make an image of my current system with userdata etc. ?
thank you so much for the very very informative Video Bless you
Did you go into sysprep audit mode during install screen to do the customization or did you actually go through setup and create user account first?
Would this work if you enabled IIS and have MS SQL installed? So that the possibly complicated configuration for the two can be skipped.
you don't need to save the .wim to the flash drive lol, you just need to go back to the previous windows 10 and drag the .wim from the virtualbox to your main desktop.
Defo useful!
Can we put AMD or Nvidia drivers too?
Delete your comment. I had no direction to go on but you made it happen! Thanks a lot!!
Thanks for this video, i have a question, Windows is asking for an activation key, and all our pc are purchased through Dell, and they come activated.
