    How do I delete the admin userid and then invoke OOBE without reloading Windows


    I have developed a ministry of restoring old computers. I take an old machine, clean it, erase the hard drive and then install a fresh copy of Windows 10. I test everything by applying all the outstanding Windows updates. Then I install all the drivers from the manufacturer. Then I activate this copy with a license key. At this point I know that this copy of Windows is running well on this machine. Now I want to give it away.I know that I can reset this PC to get back to the OOBE dialog. But resetting Windows also downloads and installs Windows from scratch. This wipes out all the upda

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink How do I delete the admin userid and then invoke OOBE without reloading Windows ;)
    Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

    Like:
    First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
    Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
    Then type this in command mode as admin
    mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

    Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.
