Reinstalling Windows hasn’t been fun since Windows 7. The OS already has most drivers and automatically downloads everything else, I miss skimming through pages of drivers to find the correct one.
You’re telling me that making a Microsoft account isn’t fun? It’s truly a process I look forward to. Cortana is literally the friendliest AI waifu assistant I could ever ask for, how can I say no when she asks me to give up my privacy?
Creating a Microsoft account is as easy as “next next done”, where’s the fun in that?.
Cortana was great on Windows Phone (mostly because I love Jen Taylor’s voice), but they kept taking away features and was basically useless on the desktop which, imho, has no use for an assistant.
Been there, started scripting with PowerShell to have an after-setup-script to change reg entries, install tools (mostly through choco), run them (like dism++ cleanup and o&o shutup10 privacy tweaks) and migrate data from backups.
Setting up and migrating took me usually 3-4h of work, sometimes more. With the scripts it’s just: Install Windows, update, reboot, update, reboot, run the script, reboot. Done. It’s like 30min of work.
Good thing I changed to linux, cause you can automate the whole process and preseed it into a debian image or kickstart rpm-based distros.
It’s possible to do customized Windows images too. I have tried a lot of times. It never worked like it was supposed to.
My Windows installation breaks and has to be installed every 9 months on average and its so fun

Sounds like PEBKAC.
