My drive is 512 GB.

I only have one disk in my machine so I will only delete those partitions that say Disk 0.

Well the size of my installation media is 64 GB and I believe that the Windows drive and partitions are all called Disk 0, so that would mean my USB flash drive would be called Disk 1 wouldn't it? So I would need to be careful not to delete any partitions that are on Disk 1. Do I understand...

I hope I don't get confused and accidentally delete them. You see, I have never reinstalled Windows using this method of deleting partitions. What I have always done in the past is use a program called KillDisk to do one-pass zeros to simply wipe out the hard drive that way. Then when I get to...

I was wondering if when you reinstall Windows from a USB Flash Drive, if the partitions on the Flash Drive actually show up in the dialog box where Windows asks you "Where would you like to install Windows"? I asked Copilot this question and it responded by saying most of the time the...

WAU Manager is a program that is worth looking into.

Okay I will give it a go and hope it works out. Thanks. In the past though, I have made custom NTLite install disks on DVD and I have never used Rufus to make them bootable. They have worked fine.

I will have to watch a few Rufus videos so I know how to use that. I've never used that before.

What if I right-clicked on the .iso file and selected mount. Then that would show me the contents of the .iso file. Then simply copy all the files to the USB drive. It should be bootable then wouldn't it?

I'm a little unsure. Let's say I have already made my custom NTLite Windows Setup Disk, I've made the .ISO file. Can I just copy that to a USB Flash Drive and then start the Windows installation process like that? Or do I have to extract the contents of the NTLite .ISO file somehow and then...

If a person disables Windows Defender using NTLite, I'm wondering if Windows would enable it upon a Windows update.

I'm on a laptop with only a Wi-fi connection. I will be setting NTLite to bypass the Microsoft account. I definitely don't want that. Just a local account is what I want.

I've read sometimes it's recommended before you install Windows to disconnect from the internet. What do you guys do? I could pull the Wi-fi cord out of the wall to disconnect. This wouldn't interfere with the custom installation disk I will be using will it?

If I select the laptop's hard drive as the default boot device, then how am I going to tell Windows to boot from the USB flash drive when starting the install?

If Windows 11 only restarts at the end of the installation process then that will be a signal to me to remove the USB stick. But if Windows restarts several times, it may become unclear when to remove the stick. From what I have seen on YouTube, I think Windows 11 only restarts after...

So is there a way to go into the BIOS and tell the BIOS to boot from the USB Flash Drive just once when first starting the install process, but after that boot from the internal drive? Maybe I should not set boot priority to the USB flash drive, but look for a boot override and set that to the...

If I recall correctly, during a Windows installation the computer will restart several times. I just saw a video in which the guy demonstrating said to remove the flash drive before Windows gets to the final restart, just before you get to the desktop. That way Windows will not attempt to boot...

I will soon be making my custom NTLite install disc. I've used the program with Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 with no installation problems at all. Very smooth installation. But now I'm on a new machine. I'm hoping the installation process again goes smoothly. My question is if I sense that something...

I assume I don't include the line that says "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00".

I have already downloaded the file that disables Defender. You uploaded a registry file that is click-able and downloads. I have that. If I import that file into NTLite that should disable Defender. But how do you execute the file that re-enables Defender with "reg import Enable.reg"? I have no...
