@win10freak,
I'm going to just take a moment to expand upon something I said in my last post above.
Now that you know that you can place the answer file on any drive accessible during startup, here is an example of how versatile this can be.
I have created for myself a single ISO image that has 25 editions of Windows. This includes all the x64 consumer editions and all the x86 consumer editions as well as several sysprep images, again, both x64 and x86.
When I boot a VM from that image I have choose whether I want to install an x64 or x86 image, then choose the specific edition that I want to install. From there, installation proceeds manually as with any other Windows installation.
However, by simply creating another ISO image that has nothing but an answer file on it, I can fully automate the installation without needing a single bit of input from me, not even the selection of x64 or x86 edition.
The point is simply this: You can make an answer file(s) for yourself, but if you want to install manually, you can still do so, or you can easily choose to go fully automated without needing to even place the answer file on your install media.
If you need any further info, please do let me know.
