Hello. I manage 15 computers across multiple locations.
I create 4 separate images based on each sites needs.
Most of the PCs are updated annually, but PCs at my site are updated as often as monthly.
Updated means a complete format and reinstall of WIndows from an image I will create using NTLite.
Then using backups apps, settings and configurations are restored over the fresh install.
1: NTLite licence allows 5 activations. Does that mean I have to buy a new licence every 5 months after formatting/refreshing my PC?
2: I was using MSMG toolkit, but this is dead. I remove almost every non-essential component (and accept the risks associated with doing so).
3: I also have a PC I use for testing purposes. It is dedicated to nothing but testing. So each image I create will be tested with latest versions of apps etc. before I roll them out to the actual PCs.
4: Are the components (systemapps, packages, windowsapps), actually completely deleted freeing up the disk space?
This is not a commerical scenario. These are PCs for my sons, brother and his family.
Windows 10 21H2 LTSC IoT. All hardware Z790. CPUs 13600KF to - 14700KF. All 32GB DDR4 or 5 (except mine which is 64gb), All using Kingston KC3000 SSDs and Seagate NAS drives. At my site all network infrastructure is 10Gbe. No wireless anywhere. All ethernet at all sites.
Is NTLite the product I need to completely debloat Windows?
thank you.
