I haven't tried this in a while, but Windows 10 can too be rsynced between different systems. Fixing the bootloader is a major PITA though, and I had to relearn doing that every time. Of course, it then spends half an hour installing new drivers for everything, but it is expected in that world.

In the Windows 2k era I would do it, but it involved somehow tricking the system to think it was doing "first boot after install" and using default drivers for everything (especially the chipset). With some trickery you could get it to work (sometimes you had to preinstall the new chipset driver where it could find it. Wasn't worth it usually.

  It was only worth it if you had to deploy a custom image to a whole fleet of machines. IIRC there was a tool called "sysprep" you could run to reset the drivers, hostname etc. so they would reconfigure themselves on first boot.
