    I also have an off topic question for the board. Does anyone know of a way to backup all of your apps and programs in windows, like an image of the system, without the system folders, where you can flash them into a new build and they all work? For instance, in Macrium or Acronis, you can make an image of your system, and flash it onto a new partition, and everything works right out of the gate. But I would like to be able to do this with all of the apps and programs, and NOT the system folders. Is this even possible at this time?

    You may want to check this out to migrate apps/settings: User State Migration Tool (USMT) Technical Reference (Windows 10) | Microsoft Docs
    If the computer is newly setup (ideally in Audit Mode), then you can create a Provisioning Package to hold the apps.

    This does use the USMT as mentioned by Hippsie, although it's in a slightly different mode to the Migrations which USMT was originally designed for.

    The idea of the provisioning package is that OEMs can install software, create a provisioning package, and then when the computer is reset, the software gets reinstalled from the provisioning package (as long as it's in the right folder, which is c:\recovery\customizations).

    However it doesn't seem to work so well with software that requires registration - ideally you create the provisioning package before any users run software which is registered or where a licence is created (even a free one).
