Your Image. Your Forge.

Set up Windows once. Deploy it to every PC.

ImageForge saves a finished Windows PC to your own image library, then reimages the next machine from a USB stick or over the network, with the right drivers, computer name and domain join. It runs on your network: no cloud account, no subscription.

Illustration: the ImageForge console sending one Windows image to four PCs, each moving through network boot, download, apply, drivers and naming until all four are ready.

The boot USB runs a guided, keyboard-driven client that works on any PC, even one without a mouse. Try a sample deployment: click the screen and press Enter, or use the buttons.

How it works

From one good PC to every PC, in three steps.

No task sequences to write and no deployment share to maintain. Technicians follow a guided screen on the boot USB, and the Forge keeps everything in one place.

  1. 01

    Build one good PC

    Install Windows, your apps and your settings on one machine, exactly the way the others should be.

  2. 02

    Capture it to your Forge

    Run Capture Readiness inside Windows and resolve its blockers. Then boot from the ImageForge USB to capture Windows into your image library.

  3. 03

    Deploy it to the rest

    Boot each PC from USB or the network, pick the image and confirm the disk. ImageForge applies Windows, adds the right drivers, names the PC and restarts it.

Features

Everything the imaging bench needs, in one console.

One installer sets up your Forge: a Windows service with a web console your whole team can use, and boot media your technicians carry to every PC.

WIM

One image library

Every captured Windows setup in one place, with categories, versions and one-click rollback.

DRV

Drivers matched by model

Upload a model's driver pack once. ImageForge adds the right one to each PC it deploys.

ID

Finished on first boot

Deployment profiles set the computer name, join the domain, activate Windows, create the local admin and skip the setup screens.

ASG

Assign PCs ahead of timeNew

Choose what each PC gets before anyone touches it. The technician boots it, confirms the disk and moves on.

RAID

Any storage modeNew

RAID, AHCI or NVMe: ImageForge adds the disk-controller driver the PC needs, so Windows starts either way.

UPD

Keep images patched

Slipstream the latest Windows updates into an image and strip preinstalled apps, without rebuilding it.

LIVE

Live progress and history

Follow every deployment from the console, with a full audit trail and each PC's logs a click away.

API

Integrations and backups

Send job events to Slack, Teams or your RMM, and back up the whole Forge on a schedule.

Looking for our first 5 real-world testers

Let me help you image your first PC.

ImageForge grew out of real Windows deployment work. I’m looking for IT admins, MSP technicians and homelab users to try one capture and deployment, and tell me what works and what needs fixing.

  • Personal help with your first capture and deployment
  • Help with boot media and drivers for your hardware
  • Free setup help. No purchase required.
  • Honest feedback, including the confusing parts

The standard 14-day Pro trial includes one Forge and one technician seat. Internet is needed to start and at least every 72 hours. Prefer to explore yourself? Start the free trial.

Security

Your images stay on your network.

Windows images carry licensed software and company settings. ImageForge keeps them on your own server and checks every step before a disk is erased.

Your images stay local

Images live on your server and only move between it and your PCs. Purchased licenses activate without internet.

Verified connections

The console and imaging API use HTTPS. The boot client verifies your Forge before sending a technician's code. PXE boot services have separate network requirements; see the network guide.

Named access

Admins run the console. Technicians sign in with their own codes, which you can time-limit or revoke, and every job is logged against them.

Confirm before erasing

Deploys name the exact disk, refuse the boot USB, and need two separate confirmations before anything is wiped.

Checked before it starts

Wrong-architecture images, a disk that is too small and a laptop on battery are all caught while the PC is still untouched.

Signed downloads

The installer and every program on the boot media are code-signed, and each download is published with a SHA-256 checksum.

Tested on real hardware.

ImageForge is proven on physical PCs across multiple networks, not just virtual machines. We publish only what we have tested.

FAQ

Questions before you try it.

Do I need a credit card for the free trial?

No. You start the trial from the ImageForge console with a name and email address. No payment details are asked for.

What happens when the trial ends?

Capture and deploy stop, but your images, drivers and settings stay on your server. Activate a purchased key and everything works again.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Images are stored on your own ImageForge server and only travel between it and your PCs. When the server has internet access it checks for updates and license status; those checks never include your images.

Does Secure Boot have to be turned off?

No. The boot USB works with Secure Boot on, and so does the default network boot mode.

Does ImageForge require PXE?

No. Most teams start with a USB drive. Network boot is optional and can be turned on later when you want PCs to start ImageForge without plugging in a drive.

What hardware does it support?

64-bit Intel and AMD PCs, Snapdragon (ARM64) PCs, and virtual machines, with the disk controller in RAID, AHCI or NVMe mode. Driver packs you upload are matched to each PC model automatically.

Can one image handle multiple hardware models?

Yes. ImageForge identifies the target PC and applies the matching driver pack during deployment.

What if it doesn't work for us?

Tell us within 14 days of purchase. We'll first try to fix it, and if we can't make it work in your environment, we refund the purchase. See the refund policy.

Do updates cost extra?

No. Software updates are currently included with the perpetual license at no additional charge.

Does ImageForge include Windows licenses?

No. Each PC needs its own valid Windows license for the edition you deploy. ImageForge can activate each PC with the license stored in its own firmware, or install a product key you already own.

Is it a replacement for large enterprise tools?

ImageForge is built for teams that want a lighter, bench-friendly deployment system without a full enterprise imaging rollout. It can sit alongside larger tooling, but it does not depend on it.

Stop rebuilding PCs by hand.

Install the Forge, capture one good PC, and deploy it to the next one today. The first 14 days are on us.
