HP 280 G2
Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

Hi everybody,

we have to install the same company's softwares & apps to a lot of machines  (hp 280 g2).

As done in these years with other PCs, we have used Acronis image sw for making a ghost image to replicate to each 'virgin' machine.

At first on our ghost PC, we've changed the OS (Win7 instead of Win10), configured our environment and installed all the applications successfully... then we have cloned the hd.

The cloned hd works on the ghost PC, but... once we change machine, it blocks during the boot (it seems to don't recognize the hd)!

 

How we can do, to avoid to do it manually??

 

Thank you!

Hi

 

Secure Boot/Legacy boot

 

I would look at slipstreaming and unattended installs.

but you are probably way ahead of me there.
