How do I create a platform specific bootable ISO for windows

Question

Hi All,

I have made a custom image on win 10 IoT 1607 from a system but because this image has an embedded license and is going to be used in mass production I need to create a way that the end user can reinstall the image (with the license because it's not a digital license) when needed to be re-imaged.

The image will only be applied to this one type of system and was wondering if there is a way to make the .wim / iso only be bootable or installed to this specific type of system and not any random other systems.

I cannot seem to find much online but would be grateful for any assistance

Answer 1

SecureBoot feature has a custom signed signature feature. It for locking down only the custom image can be booted on the system. I don't know if that would work in reverse, per your case.

If you could put something in the firmware that can be checked before installing the .FFU / .WIM that might be a solution.

Philosophically, if the OS image is locked down such as it boots to an application and not explore desktop, then there is no reason for someone to steal the image.
