Windows 10: MDT for clean windows installation

Hi All,Current task is to reinstall windows and run updates, reseal for autopilot.Question is, could I use MDT to install windows instead so that I could reduce the need to use USB image from network and pre-install the drivers or will I still need a volume license even though the key is built into the BIOS?I know we can re-install windows via official download tool. Stock becomes outdated and cause problems during autopilot. Could I use MDT to re-install and inject drivers without volume license?

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.
