Are guys are talking about "Checking for Updates" during the OOBE process? I've been removing Windows Update (but not service), Update Medic and DNS and it makes no difference at all to that.

Thanks so much. I will keep all that in mind. I started with the updates and removing unneeded editions, now I'm using the resulting ISO as a base, I assume that's OK. I've found I like to push it till it breaks, then by going back and finding out what went wrong I learn a lot more, especially...

What's the best approach for managing presets? I was thinking of working on each section in stages, testing everything and then saving that as a separate preset, before finally merging all the individual presets at the end. Or even testing groups of (merged) presets. I have a lot of experience...

That worked! :D Also, installing in-place from the ISO worked just now. Two thoughts on why it failed yesterday: Possibly I had mounted it, rather than just opening in Explorer, and I don't think I ran setup as administrator. Question: should I first uninstall the chipset drivers (which still...

Ok I'll look at that and try VM again, but VMWare wasn't letting me see the settings at all, the hardware configuration box was just coming up blank. I don't know what I'm going to do for the actual install though since I can't use USB ("setup cannot continue due to a corrupted installation...

I tried in Oracle VirtualBox and VMWare Workstation Player, unsuccessful in both. But I'm not very familiar with VMs.

Thanks for the quick reply. 1. Yes normally I'd do a clean wipe (with diskpart in setup, but as I say using a USB doesn't seem to be possible anymore) but I was afraid of losing the Win 10 on the other disk. I don't care about the data itself. Maybe when I chose that option (keep files) some...

I've run into a problem trying to do an in-place install from the ISO I created. (Why am I doing it this way? Because VMs are unable to run Win 11, and since last week I have been unable to get a bootable USB to work. I've tried both Win 10 and 11, different USB sticks, you name it, but the only...
