Pro Tip: I usually make a 350MB to 450MB EFI partition, because in case I need to dual boot or even add bootable recovery environments. And I also create the 128MB MSR partition before the main data partition. Convert GPT Create part efi size=350 Format quick FS=fat32 Label=System Ass letter=g Create part MSR size=128 Create part PRI Format quick FS=NTFS label=WinDrive Assign letter=C ___ But great info, I didn't know how to deploy Windows from the command line, I might use it a lot. I usually have a premade image with all of my stuff, as a backup (Acronis or Aomei) and then just patch in the drives from a windows pe with: dism /image:c:\ /add-driver /recurse /driver:F:\WhereverMyDriversAre\
I just want to say that you forgot to create a msr partition (create partition msr size=400), also you can optimize the image before booting with dism /image:C:\ /optimize-image /boot Not making a MSR partition can break upgrades, in-place upgrades, system restore / snapshotting, system resetting, and also break some servicing operations in the OS.
The commands are pretty straightforward, I wonder if you could build a another installer that just leverages these commands? If only there was a good template available… *in the future* Windows Calamares Installer
You might be able to create a custom ISO using the Windows ADK and accomplish that. I don't know for sure as I haven't tested that specifically, but it might be worth looking into. It might be kind of tricky with that method if it's possible at all.
Yes, Microsoft has several tools that allow you to build the WIM file as needed. You can then write a script to partition and format the drive, then apply the WIM file, basically what he showed in the video. My company sells PCs and I have created a bootable USB drive that the production department uses to image the PCs. It makes it very easy for the production department and is much quicker than manually clicking on things using the Wizard installer (and keeps them from making any incorrect selections). Once the PC has been imaged, the end user just boots it up to my custom shell and application.
First time 'commenter' and I echo - 100! all the 'positive' comments on how awesome this video was and this procedure. It is so great to add to 'our skill sets' and that is _exactly_ what this does. Long time Linux fan, discovering the magic of ZFS/KVM and then windows on top.-Thank you👍
What blew my mind was that if you don't enter a password for a local account, you skip the, frankly, idiotic security questions - I'm happy that I know this now, but this tad bit of knowledge would have come really handy just a couple of weeks ago when I needed to set up 3 different installations. With all this intensifying Microsoft idiocy, I'm so happy I switched to Linux as my base system 15+ years ago.
Thank you Chris, I knew this was possible, but especially the latest versions of Windows require just this extra procedure in order to keep evil out. And so easy, thanks a lot.
Shift f10 works even on windows XP. Helped me bypass a lot of crap during installs, while also allowing me to start a file manager like total commander and do stuff while it was installing, like running simple games out of boredom, or setup other stuff. Installs took a lot of time back then.
This video is gold, for people that need to use windows, but hate the freaking bloated mess around it. Thanx a lot for your contribution Chris, chapeau 🎩 et merci, from France 🇫🇷
Just saying a few things, format uses ntfs by default and you don’t really need quick for partition 1 since most computers would take less than a second to fully zero out 100 mb. Also amazing video, I though the size needed to be 512, but you showed it can be a minimum of 100.
I think you may need a bigger EFI partition if you want to be able to boot more than one OS. You'll end up with more files occupying more space in that case. I guess many automatic partitioning schemes make allowance "just in case".
If you have an HP computer, go bigger. I had a bugger of a time with an HP bios update. It uses the efi to store the update program/info, then does the bios update via booting. After the update does its thing, it reverts the boot process back to windows. I had to use Linux tools to resize the efi partition to get the bios updated.
Great video, Chris! It would have been even better if you also included the steps to create the recovery partition during the pre-installation phase as, after populating all the remaining space to the system partition, it requires many more steps and additional software (partition management tools) to do give users the ability to reset their systems to a "factory" state. Hope you can take my suggestion into consideration in a future video. Good job!
@@ChrisTitusTech: Your "MacOS on Linux" video is equally amazing as this one [if not The Best]! QUESTION: Is it possible to upload an iOS App into App Store via "MacOs on Linux" Route?
Since your Windows 11 video, I've exclusively installed windows via the command line. It's a powerful tool to have absolute control over patitioning (you only need EFI and OS partition, nothing else). And I also trim with NTlite and MSMG (b pass). Once completed, I run the utility and after 5 minutes (after intiial boot is complete), the process count sits at 55/57. Windows Store and Windows Live accounts are still functional, so if you remove those as well, you can get it down to 50 probably xD (I've also removed TPM, bitlocker, defender, smartscreen, UAC is kept as dependency but I use the local admin account anyways so I don't get any UAC prompt and everything is elevated. I know; it's not recommanded but my usage is very 'sandboxed' so it's fine). (If you remove UAC module entirely, everyone is an administrator and the run window will show that the command will be elevated, despite not being logged as admin).
Great guide. With just a few minor differences, this is how I have to install Win11 on my multi-boot Macbook Pro w/ OpenCore. The graphical installer screws up the EFI partition and always wipes out either Linux or macOS.
@@oldmandeckhand Yes. On Apple silicon, you're best off with virtual machines instead of a multi-boot setup. Win11 doesn't run bare metal on Apple silicon (yet? I don't know if there's any real work to make is run bare metal) and neither does Linux (Asahi is making great strides, but is still quite a ways from being production software ready for normal use).
this actuly help me last night reinstalling windows for some reason all windows installs hanged when copying files, but when i did this way complated super fast with any problems, thanks!
The video title is brilliant! Any Windows box I *have* to manage, I would create a "custom" wim, and this is pretty much how I would install - though likely scripted. Having said that, never thought of it as being the Arch way, or anything like that. Thank you for the enlightened perspective.
Tutorials on CMD or even Power Shell would be very, very much appreciated 😉 Btw, you briefly mentioned Windows Repair. How would you actually repair a problematic windows installation???
It was pretty interesting to watch installation via cmd, not that i actually need it, but lol. And i actually thought of some future, where i have some either git, or some repo, where i can drag out all my tweaks / apps, and make quick change to new, fresh pc. I too dumb to make my own, so i prob gonna use your one, when i'll understand all tweaks you got in there, thank you.
it is not necessary, but still useful if you don't want the recovery partition at the end of the disk. When i got a new SSD i thought to myself that i could make a windows recovery image just to realize that i couldn't expand from 240 to 512 gb that i bought because of the recovery partition was at the end. Frustrated by it i just did a clean install. You don't even need to do the arch linux way, just partition before hitting enter when setting up to install.
For BIOS based system I run this in DISKPART and it installed just fine: create partition primary size=100 format quick fs=ntfs label="System" assign letter="S" active
I was hoping you could provide instructions on customizing the installation process to eliminate any unnecessary components exclusively through the command line (without using NTLite).
Relatively-modern hard drives (from the past 25 years or so) remap bad sectors internally. If the full format detects bad sectors something is very wrong.
To elaborate, a full format would mark bad sectors in the file system itself only up to the Windows Vista era. With Windows Vista, full format instead zeroes out the partition. If the disk happens to have a bad sector, the disk is indirectly being told that nothing of value resides there, and if it cannot read nor write to that area, it will now remap that sector to a spare sector instead, with the process being done on the physical disk level as opposed to the file system, or at least that's how I figured. I think the comment was blocked for posting the source link to Microsoft documentation, so I am going to omit that this second time, haha
So the Windows installer creates 4 partitions by default. What’s shown here creates two. Does this create problems for BitLocker? The Windows recovery partition is also useful honestly.
Pretty impressive stuff here from Chris Titus. While I watched this, his knowledge reminded me of a character born outside the Matrix, showing us abilities we never knew were possible.
I didn't even know you could do this. I'd have figured that Microsoft would pull out the stops to prevent users from this level of control over their system.
Microsoft has several tools that allow you to build the exact install that you want, if you really want to do it that way. But most users just want to install Windows the easy way.
Thanks for the guide, didn't know you could install Windows that way, now i only need a guide on how to make a winget script so i can automate my windows installation with scripts
Chris, I followed your perfect windows 11 install video and After following this procedure, when I rebooted my computer all I got was a black screen. I had to start over reinstall windows and not perform the script after reinstalling. What do you recommend?
This is cool, I'm soon to reinstall Windows 10 Pro. Nothing tells me this wouldn't work with a Win10 install? I've watched a lot of your video's, my powershell journey is about to start with my new install.
Hey Chris awesome video, I wonder how would installation deviate if one wanted to do a complressed system disk install? Maybe worth a try installing windows server core the terminal way, for full terminal experience :D
Great content! Love the work you do! Try focusing on network services who love to talk via tcp to outside servers. Would love to see those tweaks firewall perspective. If you don’t speak, you cannot be heard. Big tip for everyone! Shut off your internet when not using it!
3:53 Why does it take long to format a 100MB or 63GB partition if you "forget" quick? Reading/writing 63GB to a modern SSD should take about 10 seconds. Let alone 100MB.
formatting 100MB partition is fast either way, for 63GB partition however, when you forget quick, it zeroes the partition, making the recovery impossible
6:00 I am trying to get the index listing, got the same problem you had at 5:11 but i have no D: drive to drop into to use that DISM command to get an index listing. I;m using ventoy to boot into a win11 iso i created using media creation tools. D: for me is just ventoy folder of all my ISOs. so i'm lost at this point since i don't have another \sources folder. i was able to create the partitions so I guess i;ll just use the normal installer
i will necro this but you can do this with ventoy by looking for something like "CDROM", that's where the sources are. that's how i installed windows on my laptop with the ventoy tool and a 1 TB drive only (i only had a 4GB USB which isn't enough to burn window's iso)
An optimal "Arch Way" would be an installer that is modular and can download the base system and drivers. It's hard but if it gets done the right way it will shape a great future for windows.
I started with manual linux installation before i have internet at home, imagine having the latest kernel but no where to get a working lan card driver. Gotta go to them internet cafes!
@@oldmandeckhand Well most if not all Linux distros provide an internet installer and an offline installer so you can choose what works best for you. What I meant to say if we can have an online installer for windows you can download the base OS, choose only the apps you actually use and download drivers all at once which will be far less work compared to installing it the current way.
my friend, I follow your channel for about 2 months... and I saw in some videos that you use the BRAVE browser (browser)... I live in Brazil, and I use EDGE, I would like to know from you if it is worth migrating to BRAVE, and what are the pros and cons of both... thanks
Actually installing Linux or using Linux is not too difficult, the only problem is that Linux's command structure is a bit different from Windows. Otherwise, for me, installing or using Linux is just like using Windows with CMD. September 1, 2023 8:47PM
I use this method because I like automation. I use same script on multiple PCs. My question is how to choose English(World) as language (or locale) when using apply image command?
I remember having to do this when I had to install from a USB drive, I encountered the bug where the installer thinks it's still a dvd drive (I believe that was the issue?) And it kept trying to overwrite stuff on the USB the iso was on. Definitely reminded me yet again why I dd Linux on my personal computer
Hi Chris, you need to look at your toolbox because it messes up the context menu. When you hover over view/sort option it just shows the option instantly instead of taking 1s time. It looks very weird system design wise.
Nice! Loved it. My next windoze install will be like this...... One small query - I want to have the Users dir on a separate partition. How do I do this? Also, since this is a Powershell based install - is it possible to do this install with just 1 .ps1 file? Please let me know...... :)
After my last Windows update fiasco I gave up on their operating system. I found that Windows 11 is an unstable mess that takes up too much of my time trying to keep it up. Even with your great advice and fixes, it is not something I want to constantly maintain. Hello Linux!
I always use diskpart clean when wiping a drive to reinstall Windows, I had issues with the built in partition wizard once and don't trust it anymore, also diskpart makes it easy to see if the drive is GPT. Also I am not sure if this was on purpose or not but the installer also creates a recovery partition, even though it rarely works its nice to have just in case you don't have a usb around
I installed windows 11 as english-world as recommended in the last video. At the first installation at startup, microsoft store did not work and I had to change the options but in the second installation it was present as in the classic version of windows 11, why?
OUTSTANDING!!!!! - I wish I would have thought of this. Chris - You ROCK!!!!!😉 I am a bit curious, why you chose to label this work as "the Arch Linux Way" Did you come up with this, or is this something you discovered within Arch documentation? Note: Even if this information was obtained from Arch makes no difference. What really matters is; 1.) "You recognized the value your patrons will gain using this method". 2.) "The clear concise and elegant style you presented it"! As is your way to inform & educate. Thank You, for being YOU! - Fantastic!!!! A Technicians Tech! Not just an opinion. It's a FACT!

In a world without walls and fences, why should be use Windows and Gates?
Pro Tip: I usually make a 350MB to 450MB EFI partition, because in case I need to dual boot or even add bootable recovery environments.
And I also create the 128MB MSR partition before the main data partition.
Convert GPT
Create part efi size=350
Format quick FS=fat32 Label=System
Ass letter=g
Create part MSR size=128
Create part PRI
Format quick FS=NTFS label=WinDrive
Assign letter=C
___
But great info, I didn't know how to deploy Windows from the command line, I might use it a lot.
I usually have a premade image with all of my stuff, as a backup (Acronis or Aomei) and then just patch in the drives from a windows pe with:
dism /image:c:\ /add-driver /recurse /driver:F:\WhereverMyDriversAre\
Does the MSR partition not need to be assigned a letter?
I just want to say that you forgot to create a msr partition (create partition msr size=400), also you can optimize the image before booting with dism /image:C:\ /optimize-image /boot
Not making a MSR partition can break upgrades, in-place upgrades, system restore / snapshotting, system resetting, and also break some servicing operations in the OS.
The commands are pretty straightforward, I wonder if you could build a another installer that just leverages these commands? If only there was a good template available…

my friend, I follow your channel for about 2 months... and I saw in some videos that you use the BRAVE browser (browser)... I live in Brazil, and I use EDGE, I would like to know from you if it is worth migrating to BRAVE, and what are the pros and cons of both... thanks
Actually installing Linux or using Linux is not too difficult, the only problem is that Linux's command structure is a bit different from Windows. Otherwise, for me, installing or using Linux is just like using Windows with CMD.

I use this method because I like automation. I use same script on multiple PCs.
My question is how to choose English(World) as language (or locale) when using apply image command?
I'd love to see a preset for gamers. There are a lot of additional tweaks we do.
Both entertaining and educational
what was the domain join you mentioned?
@ChrisTitusTech
Chris can Windows 10 & 11 Pro Editions be installed running Commands?
Thank you
I remember having to do this when I had to install from a USB drive, I encountered the bug where the installer thinks it's still a dvd drive (I believe that was the issue?) And it kept trying to overwrite stuff on the USB the iso was on. Definitely reminded me yet again why I dd Linux on my personal computer
So this is the way to do it to prevent windows installing bootloader on another disk?
Only Chris could make Linux users approve of a Windows install.
Mine didn't wanna boot after. It just said 'booting on hard drive' but never got any further.....
Hi Chris, you need to look at your toolbox because it messes up the context menu. When you hover over view/sort option it just shows the option instantly instead of taking 1s time. It looks very weird system design wise.
Nice! Loved it. My next windoze install will be like this......
One small query - I want to have the Users dir on a separate partition. How do I do this?
Also, since this is a Powershell based install - is it possible to do this install with just 1 .ps1 file?
Please let me know...... :)
After my last Windows update fiasco I gave up on their operating system. I found that Windows 11 is an unstable mess that takes up too much of my time trying to keep it up. Even with your great advice and fixes, it is not something I want to constantly maintain. Hello Linux!
I tried 11 and within 2 days switched to debian 12 it’s extremely good (still dualboot win 10 just for solidworks)
When are we going to get a gentoo install video?
Can you make a video on Creating a Bootable Windows iso from a preinstalled windows system using command prompt?
I always use diskpart clean when wiping a drive to reinstall Windows, I had issues with the built in partition wizard once and don't trust it anymore, also diskpart makes it easy to see if the drive is GPT. Also I am not sure if this was on purpose or not but the installer also creates a recovery partition, even though it rarely works its nice to have just in case you don't have a usb around
Awesome
thank you for the video
I installed windows 11 as english-world as recommended in the last video. At the first installation at startup, microsoft store did not work and I had to change the options but in the second installation it was present as in the classic version of windows 11, why?
Now this is magic. Thanks Chris.... Is it possible, since MS has made Edge a mandatory part of Windows, to get rid of it, permanently???
OUTSTANDING!!!!! - I wish I would have thought of this. Chris - You ROCK!!!!!😉 I am a bit curious, why you chose to label this work as "the Arch Linux Way" Did you come up with this, or is this something you discovered within Arch documentation? Note: Even if this information was obtained from Arch makes no difference. What really matters is; 1.) "You recognized the value your patrons will gain using this method". 2.) "The clear concise and elegant style you presented it"! As is your way to inform & educate. Thank You, for being YOU! - Fantastic!!!! A Technicians Tech! Not just an opinion. It's a FACT! That you prove with every video you produce & post. It is my honor to know you.
Thanks Chris.
Beautiful. I wondered if this is possible
Nice video! What about seting language to World so the insstall skips most of the bloatware Microsoft tries to install?
Why I can't enlarge your video see exactly commant prompt you giving
Because I was watching on my mobile handsets
great tutorial
Awesome! 👍
