Brand new PC's from the factory are sysprepped, so they start in OOBE. They already have whatever "extras" (or bloatware) pre-installed, but the first-time user experience is a fresh OOBE.

Yes, apart from intergrading the drivers and apps in the ISO, the OEM can also enter Audit Mode (bypass OOBE and connect with the built-in Administrator account) pressing CTRL+SHIFT+F3 and install anything they want. At next restart Windows show OOBE again, but any drivers and apps are already installed.Brand new PC's from the factory are sysprepped, so they start in OOBE.

Yes, but it is far easier to copy-paste an existing file than creating the unattended script which I don't know how to do it, as many others.

You can adapt to anything obviously. However, having to "adapt" and spend significant time "understanding" this begs the question, why do I have to "study" it just to use it. Of course, I also don't want to pay Microsoft for a capability I can get for free other ways, so there's always that...And then there are those of us who actually do know how OneDrive works and how to use it. You are correct though, most will never make the effort to understand it. It is best to help them get rid of it.
Amen! Now that we've beat this to death, maybe a tutorial about one method that always gets the job done so it can be located! Having to search five pages of a thread and pull out the information is much more difficult!Sigh. That generator is getting encrusted with too many bells & whistles. It's beginning to look like winutil now.
It would be nice to have a "just the basics" and "expert mode" page views.
I'm not a Rufus user myself; I like to do things myself and bonus if I can torture myself with it not working at first. But Rufus couldn't be simpler... ISO, check box or two, click button. I mean, I'm a custom ISO and unattend guy, but Rufus is a nice piece of kit, I think they say over there.Amen!

I've used OneDrive for more than 18 years and I fully appreciate that something that is easy and intuitive for me may be difficult for some to understand.You can adapt to anything obviously.

If one has a need for it , there is nothing better. I do not use Office Products anymore so I have no use for it.I've used OneDrive for more than 18 years and I fully appreciate that something that is easy and intuitive for me may be difficult for some to understand.
I fully agree. With the work I do, I couldn't function without my Microsoft 365 subscription. I fully appreciate that for some, the tools I find indispensable are useless. That's the beauty of Windows; there's always software and tools to fit whatever your needs and wants are.If one has a need for it , there is nothing better.

The problem is, for many unsuspecting users, whether it's because of ignorance or naivety, the program screws with your data before you even realize it's there and what it's doing!And then there are those of us who actually do know how OneDrive works and how to use it.

I'm not one of those naive or ignorant users., but after clean installation, I spent a long time trying to recover the folder of documents, photos, and videos that OneDrive automatically linked to the cloud without me realizing what had happened, even though it's a free plan.The problem is, for many unsuspecting users, whether it's because of ignorance or naivety, the program screws with your data before you even realize it's there and what it's doing!
It's not missing, it's misplaced.People have stuff, then stuff appears to go missing after OneDrive takes over. That's just wrong!
Exactlyit's misplaced.
