Not sure which sysprep options to use to clone install(generalize/oob)
I have a Windows 10 64 bit install (I forgot which build, I think it was 1909) from a 3770K system that is giving me issues that I want to migrate over to a new 10700K system that I built.
Since this was a sudden hardware issue the 3770K system started giving me and I have many years of settings I want to keep that I didn't have time to migrate over to a new PC, I wanted to see if it was feasible to clone the install to the new system before starting over.
From what I read, sysprep is what I want for that. Only issue is I am not sure what options to use. I do want to wipe the drivers and any hardware-specific settings/configurations (which from what I understand is what /generalize is for) but I do NOT want to wipe my program registrations, user accounts, passwords, and other such settings (which if I read it right, is what /oobe would do).
Nearly every guide I read says to use /oobe though so I am not sure if I am mis-understanding these commands or not. If I wanted to clone my Windows 10 install to a new PC (Yes, I have a key I can activate the new PC with) and keep all my accounts, passwords, settings, programs, etc but have it start over with the hardware settings/drivers so I can migrate it over to the new PC, which settings should I be using in sysprep?
