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.
# Updates
2509.1 has been released to preview! This is a major update that brings a new user interface to preview.
Docs are coming, but will take a bit to write them. The youtube video is a must watch for a complete demo on how to use the UI and the changes made to apps (InstallAppsAndSysprep.cmd is gone) and drivers. I'll be recording a more formalized deep dive with slides that go a bit deeper into how things work, but the UI walkthrough should get most people going.
# Getting Started
- Download the latest [release](https://github.com/rbalsleyMSFT/FFU/releases)
- Extract the FFUDevelopment folder from the ZIP file (recommend to C:\FFUDevelopment)
- Watch the Youtube video (updated docs for the UI coming soon)
If you're new, check out the [Quick Start Guide](https://rbalsleymsft.github.io/FFU/quickstart.html). This will be the fastest way to create your first FFU. There's a new [FFU Builder Quickstart Youtube video](https://youtu.be/kOIK5OmDugc) based on the 2602.1 UI Preview release.
## YouTube Detailed Walkthrough

Here's a detailed overview of the new UI process.
[2507.1 UI Preview Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oozG1aVcg9M) - First UI Preview release video. This goes deeper than the quick start video, but is missing some features that have been added since 2507.1 was released.

[2407.2 Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqXRbgeeKSQ) - This was the main deep-dive video on FFU Builder (before it had that name). This is a good deep dive into how the BuildFFUVM.ps1 script works, but a lot has changed since that build.

The UI builds are in a good spot now that most people should have moved over to using the UI if you haven't yet. I'll likely be updating main with the UI branch code within the next month or so.
