is there a quick way to install win7 and some basic programs (skype, and few others) on many (exact same manufacture) new 'OSless' miniPCs that will be connected in local network. I know I can create a bootable usb and place inside it a win7 installer, but I was wondering if somehow I can make an image of a win7 (configured with all my basic programs) and then mount that image on each new OSless PC, is that possible? what about if there are meant to be connected in a local network? Isn't there any shortcut that could spare me having to install win7, config it, install programs, on every single PC?? Thanks Advanced.
PD: I'm familiar with AOEMI Backupper (currently using it to backup-restore windows system), I know it can clone a disk to another, but you have to plug every 'destination' disk into the PC where the 'source' disk is placed in order to perform the cloning. I would like to somehow mount an image of my OS into a bootable USB, and install that image on every PC. is that possible? Could please somebody provide some tutorial link fo how to do it?? Thanks Advanced.
could someone please tell me what is the difference between a normal installation of windows7 and a Windows PE installation? I have read here https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766093(v=ws.10).aspx that they are different. Thanks Advanced.
1You could use something like Norton Ghost to create an image of a complete install, then write that image to the rest of your PCs. We've used an HDD duplicator in the past to also achieve a similar result. – Michael Frank – 2015-09-18T04:13:09.897
Hi @MichaelFrank how could I write an image on a PC that has any OS installed? Do I use some kind of bootable image???? what about the PC name and other configs, does it make troubles when connecting all PCs in a local network?? – Natysiu16 – 2015-09-18T04:17:57.663
Depending on the method, you normally just use a bootable environment to apply the image. As for config? You can create a generic build and rename the PC after it has been imaged. – Michael Frank – 2015-09-18T04:20:34.913
what is the format of the Norton Ghost image? does that image can be uploaded from a usb drive in a OSless PC?? – Natysiu16 – 2015-09-18T04:42:45.953
