Professional-grade Windows customization with dependency analysis, automated setup, and comprehensive image management.
Powerful image management with support for all major Windows installation formats. Convert between formats, create bootable ISOs, and selectively remove editions from images.
Modify your currently running Windows installation (C:\Windows) directly without recreating images. Apply changes to deployed systems instantly with a reboot.
Upgrade or change your Windows 10/11 installation without full reinstallation. Apply cumulative updates, change editions, or refresh the OS while preserving your applications and settings.
Integrate Windows updates, service packs, and language packs directly into WIM images. Create fully patched deployment images that are secure from the very first boot, closing the gap where freshly installed Windows is vulnerable before updates and Defender definitions are applied.
Accelerate update integration with multi-core parallel extraction and persistent caching. Choose between three modes to balance disk space and speed: from minimal footprint to dramatically faster repeated builds with reduced disk wear.
Download Windows updates directly from Microsoft servers with automatic detection and selection. Includes the latest Windows Defender definitions so your images are protected from first boot. Keep your offline images up-to-date effortlessly with local caching.
Automated cleanup of temporary files, update backups, and unnecessary components. Optimize images for deployment with WinSxS compression and component store cleanup. DISM-based cleanup is available to all users; Custom deep cleanup for lite images requires a license.
Pre-integrate device drivers directly into Windows images for plug-and-play hardware support. Windows automatically installs only detected drivers during deployment.
Gather host machine hardware lists for targeting deployments. Check for missing drivers before deployment and optimize images for specific hardware configurations.
Apply registry modifications and system tweaks before deployment. Configure Windows behavior, privacy settings, and system preferences in advance using REG or POW files.
Import, export, and manage Windows power plans directly. Import power schemes from the host machine on the fly, set active plans, rename, and delete, all within the image editor.
Add custom scripts, application installers, and automated tasks to the post-setup queue. Commands are stored in the image and executed after Windows installation completes.
Quickly install already downloaded MSU and CAB updates on your running system. Batch install multiple updates with automatic dependency ordering and restart management.
Remove Windows components, built-in apps, and features with full dependency analysis. Reduce image size and attack surface while maintaining system stability with safety warnings.
Clean up component parts that Windows cumulative updates restore during installation. Useful for maintaining slim images after applying updates that reinstall previously removed components.
Review and disable Windows scheduled tasks that run in the background. Reduce unwanted activity, telemetry, and resource usage by controlling which tasks are active in your image.
Apply hundreds of system tweaks and optimizations: disable telemetry, optimize performance, customize UI, and configure Windows behavior to your exact specifications.
Enable or disable Windows optional features and manage Features on Demand (capabilities). Control RSAT tools, language packs, .NET versions, and other optional Windows components.
Control which Windows services are enabled or disabled in your image. Optimize system resources, reduce attack surface, and fine-tune startup behavior for your deployment scenario.
Create completely unattended Windows installations with preconfigured settings. Set user accounts, regional preferences, product keys, and skip all setup prompts for hands-free deployment.
Configure disk partitioning for fully automated Windows deployment. The disk template wizard sets up partition layouts for GPT (UEFI) or MBR (BIOS) schemes, wiping, creating, and formatting partitions without user interaction during installation.
Run custom scripts, install applications, and perform automated tasks immediately after Windows installation completes. Perfect for enterprise deployment pipelines and software provisioning.
Apply the same operations across multiple image editions automatically. Configure once and propagate changes to all selected editions within a multi-edition WIM file.
Automate NTLite operations via command line for CI/CD pipelines and scripted deployments. Apply presets, process images, and generate ISOs without GUI interaction.
Tool runs on Windows 7* or newer (x86 and x64). *Windows 7 requires SHA-2 update (KB4474419). Windows 10+ host required to edit Windows 10+ images.
