Windows 11 Custom Image Deployment (WinPE + Auto OOBE)

📌 Overview

This project provides a modular and automated solution to deploy Windows 11 using:

• WinPE bootable ISO
• Custom captured image (install.wim)
• Deployment scripts
• unattend.xml for zero-touch setup

The goal is to enable fast, consistent, and repeatable deployments across systems.

🧠 Architecture

This project is structured into three main layers:

• Build Layer → Create image and ISO
• Deployment Layer → Execute installation in WinPE
• Configuration Layer → Automate Windows setup

⚠️ Important Notes

• This process erases the target disk
• Assumes Disk 0 is the internal drive
• Not guaranteed in all hardware configurations
• Always test before production use
