How to Sysprep Windows 8.1 for deployment

The Sysprep or System Preparation Tool is used to create a new security identifier (SID) and clean up user-specific and computer-specific settings and data so that an image can be used to deploy windows operating systems on other machines. The tool is located in \Windows\System32\sysprep folder.

Following are the steps which are required:

Step 1: Click Windows icon on your start menu. Search run and click it when found.

Step 2: Type sysprep and click OK.

Step 3: Double click sysprep.exe.

 

Step 4: Choose Enter System Out-Of-Box Experience (OOBE), check the Generalize box, choose Shutdown from the Shutdown Options and click OK.

Sysprep will take a moment so be patient. The system will turn off automatically upon completion.
