Integrate popular windows telemetry disabler into win10 install ISO?

I want to make this part of my unattended install:
https://gist.github.com/matthewjberg...a34e597f457b7f

I am following a guide on how to customise windows 10. I have at least my storage drivers since they are compatible between windows 7 & 10. I have a copy of windows 10 pro and an activation code. I'm using NTlite to customise the .wim files. However the guy who wrote the guide said my question on how to use this script in my install was better asked elsewhere.


FYI this is the guide I speak of:
https://www.win-raid.com/t750f25-Gui...Win-image.html

Sorry for not replying earlier I saw the post but it was in the middle of removing sata cables to be sure all files remain on the disk I installed the OS to ( a problem I've experienced with dual boot before). At the same time, my Samsung CFG73 was presenting itself as the culpret of the situation where a display signal is not always picked up (not a problem ordinarily since it finds it on hittng the desktop). I reset the bios but that only served to illustrate the signal is a problem for the Integrated IGFX and my vega 56 is not the cuplret. Sorry for the tangent.

TO THOSE WHO UPGRADED TO WIN 10

This is a .bat (batch) file that does some things for you.
Removes Cortana
Removes OneDrive
Removes Default Apps
Removes Telemetry
Removes Customer "Experience" reporting
Removes MRU Lists
Turns on Hidden files in Explorer
Turns on Hidden System files in Explorer
Turns on Show file extensions

The above explaination was illuminating because ofcourse I have the option in NTLite to disable this stuff beforehand. I also went to blackviper for service tuning. However part of the problem was that I must have been too eager to hack the ISO filesize down, make other changes; because the setup failed after I got a monitor signal back (didn't matter if I was using display port or not, flakey monitor signal is flakey. The monitor in other respects is grand however. I didn't need to grab another older monitor, it eventually resolved it own problem on its own.

After reading posts about trying to execute scripts and minor hiccups such as detailed here:
Silent Post-Setup PowerShell script for all users | Page 2 | NTLite Forums
&
Here: Batch and Post-Setup | NTLite Forums

I've decided that I can run the script on the windows 10 desktop to save time and effort.

FYI I've got the mining bug and some programs like xmr-cast don't support windows 7 and I could not get the amd blockchain driver to hit the desktop in win 7 (reboots just as the desktop is appearing). I'm glad I have setup multiboot to test this stuff. Keeping my main boot OS on win 7 sp1.

REM *** Remove Cortana ***
REM Currently MS doesn't allow to uninstall Cortana using the above step claiming it's a required OS component (hah!)
REM We will have to rename the Cortana App folder (add ".bak" to its name), but this can be done only if Cortana is not running.
REM The issue is that when Cortana process (SearchUI) is killed, it respawns very quickly
REM So the following code needs to be quick (and it is) so we can manage to rename the folder
taskkill /F /IM SearchUI.exe
move "%windir%\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy"  "%windir%\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Cortana_cw5n1h2txyewy.bak"

There is nothing to see, code is in post. Also I am no longer trying to integrate the script, I will run it on the desktop. I have other hurdles.

Namely the issue of the install refusing to proceed after the install partition has been chosen. I think that its a case of disconnecting all hard drives except the one to be installed. I've noticed that after resetting my bios that the first boot defaults to the windows loader, which will fail. I think it was created when I installed windows 7 to my first 4TB HGST. I use EasyBCD 2.3 for my OS list and it resides on my primary SSD boot drive where it should. My question now is should I delete the bootloader partition on my 1st HGST and merge it with the windows 7 partition or will it break things if I want to use my 1st HGST windows 7 install as a solitary boot drive?

I believe windows 10 sees the windows loader partition and refuses to install. I say this because when I disconnected all sata cables but the target OS drive it told me the 30Gb partition was too small. I've since made it 60Gb (after trying 40Gb) and had to use chkdsk /f after minitool partition wizard professional left it in a raw format with filesystem errors.

I will attach a disk manager screenshot as well as the error messages. I've circled the partition that serves no purpose. When its booted it gives 2 win 7 install options and and trying the first gives a message that you need to repair the install.

Sorry about changing the subject maybe I should start a new thread.

I hope you know, what you are doing.

dmwappushservice affects windows notifications now.
Since recently, values like AllowTelemetry affect, whenever you will be offered any Windows Updates at all.

Not to mention, it has not been updated since 2015, some entries do note exist anymore, some like smartscreen have more values and you can not simply move cortana either, you have to take ownership of it first.

I hope I know what I'm doing too. Its trial and error time atm.

This not getting windows updates, not really fussed as long as I know if I'm getting them or not (which won't take too long to determine), I can use whdownloader to update if its broken.

I didn't write this script. If u google the first few lines u will get links to multiple sources, so if Cortana was a difficult lady to get rid of then I'm sure it would have been pointed out. I have not researched the script, and I do not think I will miss anything which is removed never having used windows 10. I objected right off the bat when they made dx 12 a win 10 exclusive, windows is not a console. They can't hold you to ransom like that.
