Hello I am the owner of a computer services company, and I'm looking into doing pre-designed system building, so to speak. I was wondering if there was a way to pre-install drivers and programs on a computer with a fresh install of windows and then clone that drive to say 50 others without compromising the account set up process? In a nutshell, how can I be like HP lol.

I am sure you can do it but I don't know how. I wonder how they set up their oem so they are partially installed already, as when you buy one all you have to do is set up users, its normally 1st thing that appears on PC when user starts them for 1st time.

Problem with cloning them is they would all have same drivers and unless every PC was identical in parts, there will be conflicts. Another problem is the licences would all be the same.

I know there is a tool built into windows that does this but its name escapes me. You might get a faster answer asking on https://www.tenforums.com/
