Anyone want to try cracking this problem before windows 10 update period expires.

Basically my problem is realistically I could upgrade to 10, but I'd rather employees especially since they will have to steal a mouse from the manager office not have to click through the initial OOBE settings. I've made custom windows images and clean installed them to skip OOBE settings before, but I've always done it in conjunction with installing from USB or network, and never with 10. I have no idea how the fuck this is gonna work when my only option is an in-place upgrade or somehow initiating a clean install from within the OS which I've never done before and am not even sure is possible.
There are not THAT many computers to upgrade though so I might not bother. Not so many I couldn't work around this problem, enough this problem would be annoying and make me look bad.
>/g/ is not tech support
I've got to imagine I'm not the only person rushing to install 10 and this seemed like an interesting enough problem.

In a professional environment I would hazard a guess and say you are actually.
Don't make yourself look so stupid, Win7 support ends in 2020 and if your company wanted Windows 10 bad enough you wouldn't be scrambling at the last minute to get it.
You look like such a fucking clown even asking about this

you could take hdd out and perform install on another computer, don't have to go all through with it, just until the first reboot

Hard drives are mini-pciE ssds although that's not the worst idea I've heard since I have systems that can read them, I'm basically eliminating anything that requires me physically going in. Really in place upgrade + install USB + click through options to get in place upgrade to work is less arduous though.
I'm going to try and get OOBE to skip with the
(PATH OF ISO or USB drive)\setup.exe /auto upgrade /showoobe none
switches.
If it works or it doesn't I basically have to start installing windows really really soon. I've never tried using the switches with win10 before so I have no idea what they'll do

Fucking rights it actually works.
(PATH OF ISO or USB drive)\setup.exe /auto upgrade /showoobe none
DOES skip the first time install settings like choosing express settings for an in-place upgrade
Thanks for nothing /g/ except for this guy >>55806261 he's cool
