windows10 hard disk installer (WinNTSetup 64-bit)

WinNTSetup is a system installation and pre-installation system deployment tool. You can run it directly in Windows or PE. All you have to do is locate Windows. The location of the installation files and the boot and installation locations are sufficient. WinNTSetup also allows you to deploy the system before installing the system.

For example, adding hardware drivers, Windows 7 Theme files; add unattended self-answer files, etc. You can also perform personalized operations such as "right-click menu to obtain administrator rights, disable system restore, delete shortcut arrows" to save you the trouble of operating again after the system installation is completed.
