I did not realize that using sysprep would delete my activation. Furthermore, came to understand that I am using OEM. In any case, have purhcased keys but downgrading to professional.
I want to try this another way without using audit mode, rather sym links.
1) Install OS on 1 PC.
2) Use either this: Profile Relocator Software by Joseph Cox or
3) Use robo copy software to copy all user folders to second drive: Easy RoboCopy - Software Informer. RoboCopy is a Microsoft command-line tool for copying files and folders., followed by
4) Symlink creator software to make hard link (j): Symlink Creator - Software Informer. With this utility you can use the symlink application Microsoft Windows .
5) Then do all of the SSD, service reduction, and all other "tweaks."
6) Install drivers which are the same for two of the three boards (other drivers done after deployment)
7) Windows update
8) Then install software for all users
9) Then clone disk for deployment on other two MBs which are the same
10)Deploy to other computers
11)Install missing drivers
12)Activate the PCs
Will this work? Would you change the order?
By the way, I made a Win PE USB with Macrea Reflect Free and have to say it works well.
A friend of mine who is a computer guy likes Active lavasoft, something like that.
Thanks
