Hi guys :thumbup

I know I probably will get my arese kicked on this one, but swamped with reading material on subject and don't really know where to start....... :ph34r:

I am trying to make a general installation of windows that I can use on all my computers, with all program software installed, and install it via a USB.....

I don't know if there are any pitfalls that I should know about.....

At the moment I am building my wim in VMWare and if I am going to use that as my "install.wim" are there any limitations?

What is the best way to capture my installation if I am going to use it as my "install.wim"? I don't need any user info remaining...just all my programs already installed.....

If I understand this correctly - I need to capture the installation and then implement it to my so called DVD image that can be applied to a USB?

Is there a limit to the size of the "install.wim" when installing from a USB?

I have a 32GB Transcend 3.0 which I thought would be the drive for this project.....

Please bear with this old fart and his ramblings......


Thanks!
