Windows 11 + Auto Boot Install Assistance

[aclarke_31]

I'm back again everyone (lol).

 

I have a 600gig SSD that I want to put Windows on to.

Only problem is that I want to use it to boot Windows 11 via AutoUnattend ("unattend.xml")

I want the installation to go automatically with no user input.

Does anyone have any recommendations to what apps can be used to create an auto unattended installation of Windows 11 that I can auto install and then put the product key in AFTER Windows has installed.

I consider this thread to be a "dump" thread that anyone can put links to web site resources / apps / anything that can help, so I hope moderators dont mind this.

Alternatively, if I can be repointed to an alternative location on Neowin.net that can help with this, I'd be extremely greatful.

 

Many thanks

Kind regards

Lol, thank you Som. I was reading that EXACT article the other day when I tried setting it up.

Any other thoughts?

I'll try giving NTLite a shot as well.

Windows ADK has all the tools required.

Plenty of documentation around it.

Documentation is simple to follow, but has anyone considered building a tool to manage the job of trying to deploy?

Thanks BinaryZero, I'll try following the documentation that I found in "adksetup.exe".

Thanks

Windows ADK (Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit).

Fancy that?
