In this chapter, you’ll learn best practices for image creation and customization. The methods discussed will primarily be applicable to the Windows 11 Enterprise and Education editions. If your environment also includes the Professional edition, you will find that some recommended settings do not work or apply as expected. Microsoft used to maintain an index of settings that only apply to Windows 10 Enterprise and Education editions; with the release of Windows 11, guidance has been removed on these settings for some reason. Windows 11 Education Edition (or SE) does have a few settings that can be changed on the device, listed here: https://packt.link/1BDUI.
