Coming from Imagedirect to ImageAsset, I need to create a Windows 10 OEM image for my users and I am trying to understand the changes.
1. I seem to understand that I need to use the recovery media to do a fresh install as I had followed some of the walkthroughs involving OEM installs in other forum posts. If I wanted to have Update 1511 applied, is that possible using the downloaded recovery media from support.dell.com? I wasn't sure if its updated to include that or if I would have to add that into my build.
2. If a user had a WIndows 7 OEM license and upgraded themselves to Windows 10 through either Windows Update or Windows Media Creation Tool, would my Windows 10 OEM image work on their system or would it fail to activate? I didn't know how the activation worked regarding a system that was purchased with a Windows 10 OEM license versus a system that was upgraded to a Windows 10 license. I would assume it should perform the same but wanted to make sure.
3. I see information regarding having the Windows 10 build not be connected to a network during configuration process and yet information that seems to suggest that it may be required. I am looking at Windows Updates and would want to have some applied before creating my image so that users receiving this would have less updates to apply.
Thank you very much in advance for your assistance and time.
Sincerely,
Mark O'Grady
