# How to use

Each approach has a different way to use this piece of work. Major known ones are covered here.

## Virtual Machines

1. Create the VM with the stock Windows 10/11 ISO, you may power it off when it boots into the setup.
> VMware Workstation users must NOT power on the VM after it's been created if Easy Install is in place!
2. Add a new CD drive and put the ISO in releases to it.
> You may also pack your own by checking `.github/workflows/release.yml` Build ISO step in this repo.
3. Boot the VM up and roll with it!

## Rufus/Media Creation Tool/Manual file copy [Recommended for UEFI!]

1. Flash the USB drive with the stock Windows 10/11 ISO.
2. Mount the ISO and copy `autounattend.xml` to the root of the drive. For example, if your flash drive is in drive `E:`, you have to copy `autounattend.xml` there.
3. Boot from the USB and roll with it!

## Ventoy/`dd` in Linux/Direct ISO modification [Recommended for Legacy BIOS!]

1. Download the ISO from Microsoft's website or create one using Media Creation Tool.
2. Inject the `autounattend.xml` file into the ISO using the appropriate software. I use UltraISO on Windows.
3. Copy the ISO to your Ventoy drive/Flash the ISO using `dd`.
4. Boot into the setup and roll with it!
