Home friendly windows deployment software

[Dversity]

Are there anyone here who has a simple PXE OS deployment at home? I have a lot of experience with MDT, since its what I use at work. 

 

I recently found out that my synology NAS supports PXE image deployment, so all I need is a tool like MDT thats free and doesnt require any windows server to configure the images. 

It doesnt even need to be any fancy. All I want it to do is capture a reference image with preinstalled softwares. Drivers I'll install manually. 

 

I know about clonezilla, but are there other better alternatives?

Thanks but I said that I want a solution that doesnt require me to buy windows server keys.

I've only used WDS or SCCM/MDT. Some research suggests that FOG (Free Open-Source Ghost) could be an alternative as a Linux hosted solution?

Doesnt include any image capture features.
