Hello, I work as the sole member of the IT department of a small business. I spend much time replacing dead storage drives or setting up new workstations. I was wondering if there was a way I could write a script that I could put on a USB drive that I could plug into a PC with a fresh installation of Windows. It would automatically set up everything the way our users require (install specific programs, change the default browser, change various settings, create users, run updates, etc.) Obviously, I'd have to open the USB drive in file explorer and run the .exe but that's a lot easier than manually going through everything and setting it up. Now better yet... if there's a way I can somehow add this to the installation media or something like that, that'd be even better. I'm not asking someone to write this script for me (Although that'd be nice lol), I'm just asking to be pointed in the right direction. I'm a very technically inclined person and learn very quickly but as of right now, I don't know how to do this and my search hasn't gotten me very far. We're currently transitioning from Windows 10 to Windows 11 as we replace our PCs (the old ones aren't W11 compatible but the new ones are) so I'll need either one script that works for 10 and 11 or two separate scripts that work for each Windows version. Any help is appreciated! Questions are more than welcome. Thanks!
