# 8. Build the Windows Image for unattended installations
# 8. Build the Windows Images for unattended installations
This is a very long running and CPU intensive task. I recommend a 3 GHZ six core machine with 16 GB RAM. Many things will be done here:
Many things will be done here:
- extract the boot image (WIM file) and add tools to provide a boot menu etc. pp.
- extract Windows image (WIM file) and choose Windows 10 Pro version
- remove all apps from the windows image (except the Store app!)
- remove many packages from the windows image (including defender!)
- etc. pp.
**Start cmd.exe as ADMINISTRATOR!**
**Please start your cmd.exe with "Run as Administrator"!**
## 8.1 Create a boot image
Execute:
```dos
cd /D %USERPROFILE%\workspace\git\w10install
03_MakeAll.cmd
03_MakeBoot.cmd
```
Be patient: This whole process could run 1 - 3 hours.
This will create the new "boot.wim" image.
# 9. Create Boot media
## 8.2 Prepare the new windows image
Execute:
```dos
cd /D %USERPROFILE%\workspace\git\w10install
04_PrepareImage.cmd
```
This will create/prepare the new "install.wim" image.
## 8.3 Edit the Windows image with "NTLite"
In case you have installed "NTLite" the script "04_PrepareImage.cmd" will start it and you can modify your windows image now.
WARNING: Be careful what you remove - or you could end up with a non working windows installation.
SUGGESTION: Before modifying your windows image (and maybe screwing up everything) go through the whole process and test your boot media with a standard image.
## 8.4 Finalize the images
Execute:
```dos
cd /D %USERPROFILE%\workspace\git\w10install
05_FinishImage.cmd
```
This script will finish the images and it will also remove all Apps listed in the file "image\apps-to-remove.csv".

## 9.1 Format an USB stick or a disk
Please use a fast USB 3 stick. The size should be 16 GB or more (you could use 8 GB but windows images are tending to get bigger and bigger. Additionally: We will copy lots of 3rd party software to the stick).

## 9.2 Prepare the USB stick
The next script needs the ISO file again and will prepare the boot media with all needed files EXCEPT the image files (boot.wim & install.esd). In case you need a standard image (unmodified) you will have to use the Microsoft "MediaCreationTool20H2.exe" included in the "software" folder.
