Windows deployment

I’m new to Windows deployments, and I need some help. I’ve gotten as far as setting up a new system from a Windows 11 image downloaded from MS, configuring it/installing software, and then running sysprep.

I’m trying to save myself some time. I have a few boxes to setup per week. They are all either Lenovo ThinkCentres or Lenovo laptops.
