Tutorial now fully updated as the Build 9926 gave OneGet a "facelift", there's no need to install an experimental build of OneGet anymore, it will now work in PowerShell Out-of-the-Box.
An introduction video added at the beginning of the tutorial:

Thanks Dude.
I wholeheartedly recommend to find an hour free time and check out the PS OneGet. I ran a test install yesterday to create a master image to deploy to my machines instead of installing. OneGet is a dot over the I which makes it not only fast but also quite interesting :).
What I did:
- On the reference computer, install Windows 10 Build 9926
- When installation reaches the final Create User account phase, press CTRL + SHIFT + F3 instead of creating the initial user account, to reboot to Audit Mode
- In Audit Mode, customize the desktop, set colors, icon positions and spacing, folder options, IE favorites and stuff to be copied to Default User Profile
- Run OneGet in PowerShell to install all software with one command, silently in the background, without repeated "Next" and "Would you also like this and that" dialogs and unnecessary clicks
- Sysprep with Generalize switch (makes hardware independent image which can be restored to any physical or virtual machine) and COPYPROFILE=TRUE in answer file
- Capture the image
- Use the image whenever you need to install, to get a highly customized and personalized virgin system with no user accounts but all software installed
Instead of the usual 20 to 30 minutes install time I needed about 70 minutes but it's worth of it.
If you are interested in the development of the PS OneGet, join today the PS OneGet usual Friday online meeting. Starting at 10 AM PST, 7 PM (19:00) CET.
Check @PSOneGet about 10 minutes before the meeting for the link to join.

I'm already waiting there...
Well you did ask and I like copy-paste :) Should be a "y" not a ":"
Section 3.3 extra \Kari said:I was wondering if you had tried updates also. I'm not in a position to (as I only started playing with this today so there aren't any) but this looks like a problem How to automatically keep all locally installed Chocolatey Packages up to date? - Stack OverflowKari said:
I tried uninstalling and hit an issue. Uninstall-Package works (says it does) but in the example of Adobe Reader it doesn't actually uninstall the program. According to here https://github.com/chocolatey/chocol...mandsUninstall among other things uninstallIt might be worth noting in the tutorial (unless I've made an error) that Uninstall-Package might not actually uninstall a package in all cases. Hopefully this will improve in time. At the moment it is a pretty excellent way of installing stuff after a clean install though, thanks. I'm going to use it.Requires a chocolateyUninstall.ps1 in the package itself, of which many of the currently available packages do not have.

Thanks @Adam, typos fixed :).
The update cmdlet, will it be included or not, it's still open. Garret, the head of OneGet team at MS asked opinions in last OneGet community meeting Friday two weeks ago, screenshot of the meeting recording shows my opinion:
The uninstall function will get fixed, it is under development as we speak. I will ask about it on next community meeting day after tomorrow and update tutorial accordingly.
