Making backups -

As I keep making new builds for frds, I've started feeling a bit bored/annoyed at the time I've put in installing the programs. Is there is a way to make an image of JUST the OS+programs installed+windows (ie. start icon, notification, privacy settings) preference, and just copy it onto the system, in situations where the builds are different?

yeah you just make 1 drive and then clone it.

What if the cpu/drivers are different? Is there a user friendly software to recommend?

 

Thanks!

You can't make an image for cloning if the systems are different. What I would do is set up a batch file with automated executables (installers) that are located on a flash drive. All you need to do is replace the drive letter in the batch file with the flash drive's current letter and run the file.

I'm very new to this kinda thing. Is there a particular guide you can refer me to?

 

Thanks a million!

Install Win10 once and hope its as good with drivers as they say. Also it helps if you get retail version so there isn't any issues with key. Otherwise its nope for most of software. Some will work, and you can backup settings from some to most.
