Image Guardian works by manipulating file level permissions on the Reflect backups. You don't have access to that over a network share. That is something that would have to be manipulated from the...

Garlin,

You are 100% correct that this does not actually remove / uninstall anything. But I do still use this trick on occasion just to start with a nice clean Start screen. I only use it...

That is correct. DISM will operate only on the mounted image that you specify.

Forgive me, Fred. I'm having difficulty understanding what you are asking. Could you clarify your question for me a little bit? Please provide as much specific detail as possible.

Again, my...

That update is specifically meant to be applied to the Recovery Environment on a running PC, not to a Windows image. WinRE updates to address this should now be included in all the latest updates for...

Thanks for the information. I actually need to change several things in the readme. That QB64 reference is to a very old version. It is now the Phoenix edition of QB64 which has a whole new web site....

As mentioned earlier, I am still not seeing the generic installation key.

I too have a machine with only 32GB of storage, but at least it has 4GB RAM. I used the "Compact OS" option so I still have about 9GB of free storage space, but with only 32GB of storage I'm rather...

I still maintain that the amount of RAM (or lack thereof) makes this a non-starter. Even if you had a 14th gen Intel CPU, many TB of fast SDD disk storage, and the absolute latest of everything else...

Windows 10 (and also Windows 11) will run fine on many systems that don't technically meet the minimum requirements, however, in your case, I think that trying to run with...

I do not have readily available Server 2019 in front of me, so I have not been able to test your answer file. I've also only spent mere seconds glancing at it, but already I...

You can normally find the latest version of my WIM Tools program up on GitHub at hsehestedt . GitHub. However, I'm in the process of making some changes and have not yet updated GitHub with those...

Welcome to TenForums!

I'll get this to you tonight when I am back in front of my primary computer. For now, I just wanted to acknowledge that I saw your message. Thanks for your interest!

The problem with that is that if your system becomes infected it can be used to attack other people, either via targeted malware, denial of service attacks, etc. In my opinion, updates should be...

Just for clarity, in order to have a complete picture of this scenario, what is the status of the original system? Is it still accessible and available or is it no longer available to work with?

Welcome to TenForums!

The whole idea behind Sysprep is that it is supposed to generalize the Windows installation, so it is not supposed to bring forward your user accounts.

Sysprep is used to...

David, as Brink noted, the generic keys are not activation keys, but rather, they serve as an identifier of the Edition of Windows. By installing a generic key, Windows will check to see if there is...

I admit to being unsure of what will happen if you are only moving data, but if you are imaging the entire drive, Windows and all, OneDrive will think that it is the same installation of Windows, and...

Congrats!

If you have a drive that you can no longer access and you somehow manage to actually clone it (doubtful), wouldn't you just end up with an inaccessible clone??

You could do a clone or you could simply copy your data off to another location. Personally, my preference would be to try to move the data to another location. If the drive is already making...

Another thing: I've found that what might be the ideal case today, may no longer be so ideal in the future.

Just one personal example: I built a desktop PC in 2021. I went a little nuts on this...

I would love to know what that registry setting is. Don't drive yourself nuts looking for it, but if you made sure to document it somewhere, that would be great.

Just for the record, that was a brain cramp by me. A power connector is not needed for a SATA card, I was thinking of a USB expansion card. Those have a separate power connector because you may...
