Looking for steps to image new Windows 10 Pro desktops.
Hey everyone,
The office bought 17 new Dell Optiplex 5060's with Windows 10 Pro. I want to load the company software and run all the updates but I haven't done a large image project since ghosting disk to disk lol.
Could someone give me the steps they use (and software of choice) to create a bootable image of finished desktop that I can use on a USB. It would save a ton of time.
Thank you as always.

These are all OEM from Dell so I guess that's that. Thought I could save a few hours loading their management software on each machine. Thanks for the all the information.
Depending on what the management software is, or what is required, look at using a GPO software deployment mechanism.
