# Using Full Flash Update (FFU) files to speed up Windows deployment

# Using Full Flash Update (FFU) files to speed up Windows deployment
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This repo contains the full FFU process that we use in US Education at Microsoft to help customers with large deployments of Windows as they prepare for the new school year. This process isn't limited to only large deployments at the start of the year, but is the most common.
|
What if you could have a Windows image that has:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This process will copy Windows in about 2-3 minutes to the target device, optionally copy drivers, provisioning packages, Autopilot, etc. School technicians have even given the USB sticks to teachers and teachers calling them their "Magic USB sticks" to quickly get student devices reimaged in the event of an issue with their Windows PC.
|
- The latest Windows cumulative update
|
||||||
|
- The latest .NET cumulative update
|
||||||
|
- The latest Windows Defender Platform and Definition Updates
|
||||||
|
- The latest version of Microsoft Edge
|
||||||
|
- The latest version of OneDrive (Per-Machine)
|
||||||
|
- The latest version of Microsoft 365 Apps/Office
|
||||||
|
- The latest drivers from any of the major OEMs (Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft) (yes, the latest, not some out of date enterprise CAB file from years ago)
|
||||||
|
- Winget support so you can integrate any app available from Winget directly in your image
|
||||||
|
- ARM64 support for the latest Copilot+ PCs
|
||||||
|
- The ability to bring your own drivers and apps if necessary
|
||||||
|
- Custom WinRE support
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
While we use this in Education at Microsoft, other industries can use it as well. We esepcially see a need for something like this with partners who do re-imaging on behalf of customers. The difference in Education is that they typically have large deployments that tend to happen at the beginning of the school year and any amount of time saved is helpful. Microsoft Deployment Toolkit, Configuration Manager, and other community solutions are all great solutions, but are typically slower due to WIM deployments being file-based while FFU files are sector-based.
|
And the best part: it takes less than two minutes to apply the image, even with all of these updates added to the media. After setting Windows up and going through Autopilot or a provisioning package, total elapsed time ~10 minutes (depending on what Intune or your device management tool is deploying).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Full-Flash update (FFU) process can automatically download the latest release of Windows 11, the updates mentioned above, and creates a USB drive that can be used to quickly reimage a machine.

If you're not familiar with Github, you can click the Green code button above and select download zip. Extract the zip file and make sure to copy the FFUDevelopment folder to the root of your C: drive. That will make it easy to follow the guide and allow the scripts to work properly.
|
- Download the latest [release](https://github.com/rbalsleyMSFT/FFU/releases)
|
||||||
|
- Extract the FFUDevelopment folder from the ZIP file (recommend to C:\FFUDevelopment)
|
||||||
|
- Follow the doc: C:\FFUDevelopment\Docs\BuildDeployFFU.docx
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If extracted correctly, your c:\FFUDevelopment folder should look like the following. If it does, go to c:\FFUDevelopment\Docs\BuildDeployFFU.docx to get started.
