How to setup Windows from scratch?

Question

Hello,
I was hoping someone could help me by telling me how you would go about this. I want to build computers, and sell them. I plan to run Windows on the majority of them. I would need to set up a user account on one to get all the drivers, etc. on the computer. When the person buys the computer, I want it so when they power it on it will not have any user accounts, and they would be setting it up the way they like it from scratch. The only catch is I want the drivers to remain setup so they won't have to worry about that.
Basically, I want this to be like a computer someone would buy from the store; drivers setup, everything configured, but the user will be greeted with the initial setup. (as shown in the following video at 0:30 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7z_TLxlePU)
Thanks ahead of time.

Answer 1

Once you learn how to build a computer you should have your list of components ready so you know to go to that company's website and download the latest drivers for that particular piece of hardware. Before you boot up your PC you should put the Windows OS CD in the CD tray so it knows where to look for the OS, install this through the BIOS, this generally takes a couple of hours so do something else while it goes through the process. Once it is installed, follow the steps it tells you and once you come to the desktop this is when you need to install all the drivers from the site. Once this is complete then the computer is offically built. Because some users and im sorry for my language here but f*** all your hard work up in the course of a week because there new, you could add these:



Anti-virus

disk-clean up/ disk defragment - by using the task manager to set a time to run these

An up-date driver icon from the website where you got the drivers from to update the drivers

updates - set it to automatically update when they would ideally be using the computer

To start with. You would Never get a MS OME (Oridginal Manufactures Equipment) distribution license from M$, You have to sell thousand of systems annually to get a OME License, If you did you would have to pay M$ $120.00 for every computer you sold with windws 8 installed on it. You would not be allowed to install W7 on a system.



You would have to sell your computers with M$ Office and that would cost you even more money to buy a Office Software OME distribution Licenses,

Answer 3

I don't people who buy built computers care to have that out of the box experience... personally the first thing I do with a new computer is to re-install the OS. Because while the computers already has all the drivers, it also is full of crapware (unwanted useless software that is preinstalled ) , id rather make a new account and delete the one you used to configure than have to uninstall a bunch of crapware
