for newer Windows versions, Microsoft also offers a PE-like customizable image for validation purposes explicitly: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufactu...

TIL. Thanks for the link; and it's only 2.2 GB too! Wonder if this would make a good candidate for power users looking for a bloat-free Windows version, like for running inside a VM, or keeping it on their Ventoy USB as a rescue/recovery alternative to WinPE...

For a CI, my best bet would be to save a running snapshot of each OS to test and derive a new instance from there for every job. Also isolate the network bridge from the outside world. The only thing you may have to fix is time synchronization, but your vmm could already be taking care of that.

That’s nice. Windows drivers have always been a PITA to test.
