I have recently learned that WIM images can be modified with 7zip, allowing you to insert files directly into a WIM for quick minimal changes to a WIM (removing an icon from a certain user's desktop).
I also learned that the Microsoft Windows 7 Download tool places a generic Windows 7 WIM onto the flash drive for its imaging process.
If I made a bootable Windows 7 USB flash drive, but then went in and replaced the generic Windows 7 WIM with our own custom WIM after it was finished, would it deploy our own custom WIM?
I keep wanting to test this myself, but never have the time to play around with it.
Our newer computers have 256 gigabyte 960 Evos and i7-7700k in them (Thanks to yours truly) and I have a Corsair Voyager GTX flash drive so I was hoping for;
8 gigabyte WIM / 400 megabytes a second Flash Drive = a 20 second image process
40 seconds would also be acceptable lol.

been using it since win xp days and still use it for win 10 customizing. it allows for all that customizing and then makes the iso file in one shot for you. then you do whatever you need with it to distribute it.
