With Microsoft shortly discontinuing support for Windows XP, businesses and organisations across the world are planning their migration to a newer release of the operating system. Whilst Windows 8.1 is the newest version available on the market, the majority of organisations will take a safer route and migrate to Windows 7. But what is the most efficient method for upgrading tens, if not hundreds of PCs to a consistent, tailored build of Windows which includes the right applications and updates for your organisation's needs?
In this guide, we walk through the process of Deploying Windows 7 on Multiple PCs using Thick Image Deployment. You'll learn how to use Microsoft's WinPE and Sysprep tools to create a reference build of Windows 7 on a PC, capture it in an image format, prepare and partition your target PCs with Diskpart and deploy the build.
The guide is targeted at small business administrators but can just as easily be adopted in homes with multiple PCs. Once you're up to speed with the tools, you'll see how easy it is to create and deliver a Windows 7 deployment plan for your organisation.
