- Creating a medium from which a system can boot while Secure Bootremains active, is possible with the default Windows iso from MediaCreator, but what about edited images?
- Creating a unattended Windows installation is a drag, but possible. (Thank you windowscentral.com)
- Having the resulting Windows installation also be UEFI and GPT formatted instead of MBR (Non-UEFI; Bios, CSM), that can be tricky.
How do we combine all these requirements?
The desire:
I want a Windows installation medium that does not require 30 steps of interactions before I am in Windows. I want to start the VM or machine, link the ISO or USB-drive and don't want to be bothered or have the installation process halted by questions I could have answered in advance.
I would like an easy, fast installation experience.
How do I create an unattended secure-boot-compatible UEFI-bootable installation medium which creates an UEFI Windows10 installation?
Do you know of a quicker method compared to the method named "iso-winrar-xml-install.wim-install.swm-imgburn-rufus-vhdx"? as described below?
Side thoughts.
- Maybe one day we can fetch an autounattend.xml at installation start. Not a 100% unattended install, but a quicker one; to fetch your preferred installation options.
- Fyi: this should not be that complicated, but unfortunately it is because we want it all ^^. I am writing this because I had to combine work of others; maybe this can help anyone more quickly by providing it together.
- Why is IMGBurn's output not UEFI-bootable? But when Rufus puts it on a vhdx it is?
- How to generate an .iso (with IMGBurn) that boot in a secure-boot uefi context?
- Wouldn't this all be faster by editing an .iso, adding the autounattend.xml and replace the install.--- files with the correct ones, keeping the UEFI bootability of the iso intact?
