Hi.

I'm a guy who likes to mess around with his OS a lot and I also like to reinstall my OS quite a lot as well for some reason.

I refuse to use Linux cause most of my games aren't functional there and well I just like windows more.

As a part of my habit to mess with the OS, I started to change my registry.

I gonna change driver Icons with it and some other stuff.

Now here comes the real problem. 

Can I make a custom Windows 10 Pro ISO file with these registry changes planted in it with some programs already loaded in it?

The ISO should not have a CD key in it cause my licenses are one PC so it has to let me enter another key.

    Hi Yar... yes you can.

    I think you basically want to do is create a custom image.

    This is what i have been doing for years for various companies. You build a machine with Windows on it then you install what you want. Make your reg changes and policy changes.

    Once that is done you then generalize the PC by sysprepping it. When you sysprep a machine it removes licensing information so that you can use that image across multiple machines without worrying about duplication.

    Then you use the Windows ADK to capture the image using DISM.

    Below is a link on how to do just that.

    It will not capture partitions... just windows image and software and registry but not drives partitions.

    does this solve my software and files issue as well or does it only work for the reg?

    also, can the programs be in a driver separated from the windows?

    It will work with capturing software and files. 

    It creates an image of your machine with everything that is on it.
