• Default image A default image is the result of performing a standard installation of Windows 10 on a computer using default values. A default image, install.wim, is provided in the Sources folder on the Windows 10 product DVD. When using default images, remember that:
  • You don’t need to create the image.
  • You must apply settings and apps separately after deployment of the image.
  • Updates to applications don’t affect the image.
  • The same image can be used throughout the organization.
  • End-to-end deployment time is longer than with custom images because you must perform deployment tasks after image application.
• Custom image A custom image is one that contains additional components, such as drivers and apps, and specific settings and customizations relevant for the organization. When using custom images, remember that:
  • You’ll need to create and maintain the image.
  • You can include all required apps and settings in the image.
  • You might need to maintain multiple images to manage the needs of your different departments.
  • Updates to applications require you to update the image.
  • End-to-end deployment time can be faster.
