-
-To create a pre-activated Windows installation ISO, do the following:
-- Extract the `$OEM$` folder to the desktop using the MAS script.
-- Copy the `$OEM$` folder to the `sources` folder in the Windows installation media (ISO or USB).
-- The directory will appear like this: `\sources\$OEM$` in your altered ISO or on your bootable USB drive.
-- Now use this ISO or bootable USB drive to install Windows, it will either already be activated (TSforge) as soon as it boots or will self-activate (HWID or Online KMS) at the first internet contact.
-- You can see [here](intro.md) for activation method details.

-:::warning
-
-- On Windows 8 and later, [**running setupcomplete.cmd is disabled**](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/add-a-custom-script-to-windows-setup?view=windows-11#windows-setup-scripts) if the default installed key for the edition is from the OEM channel, except for Enterprise editions and Windows Server.
-- However, in Windows 10, IoT Enterprise editions were not included in the Enterprise category list during the installation process. As a result, Enterprise with an OEM key can handle setupcomplete.cmd, but IoT Enterprise (LTSC) cannot. This was fixed in later Windows 11 versions.
-- In Windows 10 IoT Enterprise (LTSC), you can resolve this issue by using the Non-IoT Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC ISO. In this case, the HWID method in preactivation will install the IoT LTSC key to change the edition and enable HWID activation.
-- In Windows 11 IoT Enterprise (LTSC), it works fine as expected by default.

-## Edit ISO File
-
-- As stated above, you can copy the `$OEM$` folder to your bootable USB so you don't have to edit the ISO file. However, if you need to, then follow the steps below.
-- Download [AnyBurn Free Portable](https://www.anyburn.com/download.php) and extract the zip file.
-- Run the file named `AnyBurn(64-bit)\AnyBurn.exe`.
-- Select the option named `Edit image file`.
-- Follow the on-screen instructions and add the `$OEM$` folder to the `sources` folder so that the directory will appear like this: `\sources\$OEM$`.
-- Save the ISO, that's it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-## Preinstall Office
-
-- Follow this [guide](office_c2r_custom) and download the Office files.
-- Copy the downloaded `Office` folder, `setup.exe` and `Configuration.xml` files, and paste them into the $OEM$ folder, beside the `setupcomplete.cmd` file.
-- Open the `setupcomplete.cmd` file with notepad and add the lines below after `fltmc >nul || exit /b` line.
- ```
- cd /d "%~dp0"
- setup.exe /configure Configuration.xml
- ```
-- Save the $OEM$ folder into the ISO as per above instructions, that's it.

-## HWID
-
-- When using HWID activation, no files are stored on the system, and Windows 10-11 will be activated when connected to the internet for the first time.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-## Ohook
-
-- If Office is preinstalled then Ohook method will activate the Office immediately without Internet. This activation uses custom sppc.dll file for the activation.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-## TSforge
-
-- When using TSforge activation, no files are stored on the system, and Windows / ESU / Office (preinstalled) becomes activated immediately without Internet.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-## Online KMS
-
-- When using Online KMS activation, Windows-Server and Office (Preinstalled) both will be activated when connected to the internet for the first time. This option uses a renewal task for lifetime activation.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-## HWID + Ohook
-
-- In this method, Windows 10-11 will be activated with HWID, and **Office** (Preinstalled) will be activated using Ohook.
