different like if you're doing this on

different like if you're doing this on Linux or Mac OS you can do that as well

Linux or Mac OS you can do that as well

Linux or Mac OS you can do that as well you'll just have to download Virtual box

you'll just have to download Virtual box

you'll just have to download Virtual box for those and then you'll have to figure

for those and then you'll have to figure

for those and then you'll have to figure out something else for Rufus because I

out something else for Rufus because I

out something else for Rufus because I don't think Rufus is crossplatform so

don't think Rufus is crossplatform so

don't think Rufus is crossplatform so once you download the Windows host or

once you download the Windows host or

once you download the Windows host or whatever host that you're going to be

whatever host that you're going to be

whatever host that you're going to be using you also need to download the

why we're downloading the iso and not

why we're downloading the iso and not just creating a USB drive from the very

just creating a USB drive from the very

just creating a USB drive from the very beginning is because we're going to be

beginning is because we're going to be

beginning is because we're going to be creating a VM and we need that ISO in

creating a VM and we need that ISO in

creating a VM and we need that ISO in order to install Windows onto the VM

order to install Windows onto the VM

order to install Windows onto the VM it's a lot more difficult getting

it's a lot more difficult getting

it's a lot more difficult getting virtual box to boot from a USB thumb

virtual box to boot from a USB thumb

virtual box to boot from a USB thumb drive than it is an ISO so I'm using the

drive than it is an ISO so I'm using the

drive than it is an ISO so I'm using the iso just to install the initial Windows

iso just to install the initial Windows

iso just to install the initial Windows 11 install that we're going to modify in

to take a minute for this to download but once it does go ahead and get

but once it does go ahead and get

but once it does go ahead and get yourself a USB thumb drive now keep in

yourself a USB thumb drive now keep in

yourself a USB thumb drive now keep in mind normally you're going to want an 8

mind normally you're going to want an 8

mind normally you're going to want an 8 gig thumb drive in order to make a

gig thumb drive in order to make a

gig thumb drive in order to make a Windows install but depending on how

Windows install but depending on how

Windows install but depending on how many programs that you plan on including

many programs that you plan on including

many programs that you plan on including it's going to create a really large

it's going to create a really large

it's going to create a really large Windows install file so you might want

Windows install file so you might want

Windows install file so you might want to get a bigger one I think this one

to get a bigger one I think this one

to get a bigger one I think this one here is a 128 gig however it doesn't

here is a 128 gig however it doesn't

here is a 128 gig however it doesn't necessarily have to be that big this

necessarily have to be that big this

necessarily have to be that big this just happened to be the one that I had

just happened to be the one that I had

just happened to be the one that I had for this video but you're probably going

for this video but you're probably going

for this video but you're probably going to need something bigger than an 8 gig

to need something bigger than an 8 gig

to need something bigger than an 8 gig so I would say probably a 16 or 32 gig

so I would say probably a 16 or 32 gig

so I would say probably a 16 or 32 gig thumb drive would probably be okay but

thumb drive would probably be okay but

thumb drive would probably be okay but like I said it depends on how many

like I said it depends on how many

like I said it depends on how many programs you plan on installing because

programs you plan on installing because

programs you plan on installing because it could get really big anyway let's

it could get really big anyway let's

it could get really big anyway let's jump back on it okay so now our Windows

this however we won't have to worry about doing a Microsoft account because

about doing a Microsoft account because

about doing a Microsoft account because we're actually going to bypass the

we're actually going to bypass the

we're actually going to bypass the entire account creation process

entire account creation process

entire account creation process completely and I'll show you that once

completely and I'll show you that once

completely and I'll show you that once we get to it but this one right here you

we get to it but this one right here you

we get to it but this one right here you should be able to just set up Windows 11

should be able to just set up Windows 11

should be able to just set up Windows 11 just how you normally would and then

just how you normally would and then

just how you normally would and then what I'm going to do is is I'm going to

what I'm going to do is is I'm going to

what I'm going to do is is I'm going to go ahead and Skip through all of the

go ahead and Skip through all of the

finally get to the outof boox experience

finally get to the outof boox experience which is the last stage in the windows

which is the last stage in the windows

which is the last stage in the windows 11 setup where it has you pick what

11 setup where it has you pick what

11 setup where it has you pick what networks you're on what your user

networks you're on what your user

networks you're on what your user accounts are and stuff like that once we

accounts are and stuff like that once we

accounts are and stuff like that once we get to that point then things are going

get to that point then things are going

get to that point then things are going to be a little bit different but I'm

to be a little bit different but I'm

to be a little bit different but I'm going to go ahead and Skip ahead to that

going to go ahead and Skip ahead to that

going to go ahead and Skip ahead to that and I'll see you then now what we're

and I'll see you then now what we're

and I'll see you then now what we're going to be doing and the reason why we

going to be doing and the reason why we

going to be doing and the reason why we don't have to worry about account setups

don't have to worry about account setups

don't have to worry about account setups and stuff like that now is because we're

and stuff like that now is because we're

and stuff like that now is because we're not actually going to create an account

not actually going to create an account

not actually going to create an account the whole purpose of what we're doing

the whole purpose of what we're doing

the whole purpose of what we're doing right now is creating an image for setup

right now is creating an image for setup

right now is creating an image for setup and for that we can do that in audit

and for that we can do that in audit

and for that we can do that in audit mode we don't actually have to create an

mode we don't actually have to create an

mode we don't actually have to create an account so when the out ofox experience

account so when the out ofox experience

account so when the out ofox experience starts we're going to jump into audit

starts we're going to jump into audit

starts we're going to jump into audit mode and then install our all of our

programs and stuff like that and then

programs and stuff like that and then we're going to be able to kind of put

we're going to be able to kind of put

we're going to be able to kind of put the system into more of a limbo state so

the system into more of a limbo state so

the system into more of a limbo state so then that way once we set it up there

then that way once we set it up there

then that way once we set it up there won't already be an account on the

won't already be an account on the

won't already be an account on the computer but I'll show you how to do

computer but I'll show you how to do

computer but I'll show you how to do that once we get back to it so once the

that once we get back to it so once the

that once we get back to it so once the Autobox experience starts I'll meet you

Autobox experience starts I'll meet you

Autobox experience starts I'll meet you there okay okay here we are in the out

there okay okay here we are in the out

there okay okay here we are in the out of box experience now at this point you

of box experience now at this point you

of box experience now at this point you don't have to go any further in the

don't have to go any further in the

don't have to go any further in the setup Windows is as set up as it's ever

setup Windows is as set up as it's ever

setup Windows is as set up as it's ever going to be at least for this run right

going to be at least for this run right

going to be at least for this run right here so what I want you to do now is you

here so what I want you to do now is you

here so what I want you to do now is you want to hit controll shift F3 and by

want to hit controll shift F3 and by

want to hit controll shift F3 and by hitting that you're essentially going to

hitting that you're essentially going to

hitting that you're essentially going to reboot the computer into audit mode and

reboot the computer into audit mode and

reboot the computer into audit mode and then once we're in audit mode we can

then once we're in audit mode we can

then once we're in audit mode we can make all the changes we want to Windows

make all the changes we want to Windows

make all the changes we want to Windows and then at that point we're going to go

and then at that point we're going to go

and then at that point we're going to go ahead and system prep it and then image

ahead and system prep it and then image

ahead and system prep it and then image it so we can make it an installer for

it so we can make it an installer for

it so we can make it an installer for Windows but it's going to take a second

Windows but it's going to take a second

Windows but it's going to take a second to boot into audit mode and then once

to boot into audit mode and then once

to boot into audit mode and then once it's there we'll continue on okay so

it's there we'll continue on okay so

it's there we'll continue on okay so here we are in audit mode it's just now

here we are in audit mode it's just now

here we are in audit mode it's just now just finishing booting as you can tell

just finishing booting as you can tell

just finishing booting as you can tell it's using the built-in administrator

it's using the built-in administrator

it's using the built-in administrator account for audit mode and that's

account for audit mode and that's

account for audit mode and that's essentially what audit mode does is it

essentially what audit mode does is it

essentially what audit mode does is it this is before any accounts are created

this is before any accounts are created

this is before any accounts are created so we're using the built-in

so we're using the built-in

so we're using the built-in administrator account the nice thing

administrator account the nice thing

administrator account the nice thing about that is we don't need

about that is we don't need

about that is we don't need administrator access to install anything

administrator access to install anything

administrator access to install anything we can do it all because we are the

we can do it all because we are the

we can do it all because we are the administrator right now so the first

administrator right now so the first

administrator right now so the first thing you're going to see when it boots

thing you're going to see when it boots

thing you're going to see when it boots up is the system prep tool so we can go

up is the system prep tool so we can go

essentially make any change that you

essentially make any change that you want in Windows that applies to all

want in Windows that applies to all

want in Windows that applies to all users obviously you can go ahead and

users obviously you can go ahead and

users obviously you can go ahead and change the background and stuff like

change the background and stuff like

change the background and stuff like that but that's not going to apply why

that but that's not going to apply why

that but that's not going to apply why because that doesn't apply to all users

because that doesn't apply to all users

because that doesn't apply to all users it'll only apply to the administrator

it'll only apply to the administrator

it'll only apply to the administrator account and since the administrator

account and since the administrator

ahead and make whatever changes that you want to make to the system that apply to

want to make to the system that apply to

want to make to the system that apply to all users like if you want to put your

all users like if you want to put your

all users like if you want to put your own custom logo on the background make

own custom logo on the background make

own custom logo on the background make sure you put it in the all users folder

sure you put it in the all users folder

sure you put it in the all users folder and it will be applied to the image you

and it will be applied to the image you

and it will be applied to the image you can also change the OEM info on the

can also change the OEM info on the

can also change the OEM info on the system and that'll get apply to the new

system and that'll get apply to the new

system and that'll get apply to the new image as well so those are things that

image as well so those are things that

if you're a system integrator it might

if you're a system integrator it might be helpful for you to do if you're just

be helpful for you to do if you're just

be helpful for you to do if you're just just a regular user then the apps might

just a regular user then the apps might

just a regular user then the apps might be all you want to do but either way

be all you want to do but either way

be all you want to do but either way we're going to jump back on it and I'll

we're going to jump back on it and I'll

we're going to jump back on it and I'll show you the next step okay so at this

show you the next step okay so at this

show you the next step okay so at this point it's really simple all we're going

replacing it with a 6.4 gab so we've

replacing it with a 6.4 gab so we've added almost a gigabyte of information

added almost a gigabyte of information

added almost a gigabyte of information to the Wim file and like I said if you

to the Wim file and like I said if you

to the Wim file and like I said if you installed more programs your Wim file is

installed more programs your Wim file is

installed more programs your Wim file is going to be a lot bigger so what we want

going to be a lot bigger so what we want

going to be a lot bigger so what we want to do is we want to go ahead and delete

see that here it is and it's 4.9 gigs

see that here it is and it's 4.9 gigs and as you can see that's a pretty

substantial difference from our original

substantial difference from our original 6.4 so we've saved well over a gigabyte

6.4 so we've saved well over a gigabyte
