    Hi Folks,

    I'd like to create a custom Win10 ISO in the most efficient manner (the less steps the better).
    I'd like to cut off all the bloat cr*p and all the spying cr*p as well (telemetry etc).

    In your opinion, which is the best tool between Win Toolkit and MSMG to do so ?
    Thx in advance and have a great weekend :)

    Win toolkit is not supported here on MDL, it has it's own website and it eats swm files when trying to merge them :D

    SWM merging is not in the AIO part of the tool.

    But the setting may be related to the way WinTookit does these things. I don't know how this "quicker merging" works do you know? If not just test, aren't you the tester? :D

    Wow guys, thanks for these quick replies, I never expected such a debate !

    Hmmm I must say that you lost me when you talked about swm files, I pretty new to all of this...
    Anyway, I trust MDL when it comes to anything related to windows (that's why I came here in the first place) so I'll stick to MSMG (it seems more straightforward to me btw).

    I can't wait for the upcoming LTSC (since I use AMD Ryzen) which is ultimately the way to go (IMHO) to get a clean Win10 install !
