Is it possible to preinstall software and prepare an image using sysprep?

Question

System administration

Good evening!
Please tell a newbie (I’m tired of manually installing OS, office and third-party software) whether it will work if I take one laptop and install Windows 10, Office 2013 and third-party software on it, then I’ll set everything up for work. In the end, using the sysprep utility, I will prepare the system for cloning using Clonezilla.
I will store this image and if someone's OS starts to work incorrectly, I will reinstall from this image.
How effective will this method of reinstalling systems be? What else needs to be considered with this method?
Thanks))))

Answer 1

Will be efficient.
I have been collecting similar images at work for a couple of years now.
With 10 it's easier, because. MS once a year / half a year releases ISO with new editions.
Pitfalls and features there is a sea, the topic is deep. But in general the steps are:

• it is best to collect images in virtual machines
  
• on the host machine, you will need a WADK, as well as a patch for version 1903

• I recommend forgetting about Clonezilla, acronyms, and so on . Wrap ISO-images or pour WIM-images on media.
  
• To create an image, use oscdimg (comes with WADK)
