Setting up windows for customer

[Jacobs811]

A few times a year I will build a computer for friends for a small fee. One of things I’ve “struggled” with is walking them through setup after they take the computer. Such as downloading drivers and evening setting up windows.

Is there a way to pre install drivers for them but still require them to make a new account when they first turn in the PC like when you get one from a store?

Create a local admin account and install all the necessary drivers.

Well .. you could integrate all the necessary drivers into installation.
Will require some additional work.
