Innstalling windows on 30 gaming PCs
Is it possible to get a windows install below 32Gb? I don't care about hybernation and sleep among other things.
My plan is to run sysprep after installing the programs i want (steam, epicgames, discord and so on) and copy the disk image to a USB. Then i will boot into linux mint from another USB, and write the image directly to the disk.
Is there a more practical way? I know about Clonezilla, but i will be limited by the 1Gb connection. And i do not know if it will even be more practical to use it.
(for flexing perposes: i9 10900f - rtx 3070)

Creating a Windows installation smaller than 32GB is challenging but possible, especially if you're willing to disable unnecessary features like hibernation, sleep, and certain system components. Your approach of customizing Windows with sysprep and then copying the image is a common method.
