Prepare one good machine
Start with a clean Windows install, your apps, your policies, and the setup you want every similar PC to receive.
USB-first Windows imaging for real IT benches
ImageForge
Turn one clean Windows machine into a repeatable deployment workflow your technicians can run without PXE, cloud lock-in, or hand-built installs.
Built for
schools, IT shops, repair benches, and MSPs
Early pilot access open
If imaging still means installing Windows by hand, copying files from a random share, or babysitting a one-off cloning tool, ImageForge gives your team a cleaner system: one Forge server, one boot USB, one repeatable process.
1 image library
Golden Windows images, driver packs, profiles, and activity in one place
No cloud login
Designed for LAN-first and air-gapped imaging environments
How it works
From clean install to repeatable deployment.
ImageForge keeps the workflow simple enough for a bench technician and structured enough for an IT manager to trust.
Capture it to the Forge
Boot from the ImageForge USB and save the machine as a reusable golden image in your central library.
Reimage the next PC
Choose the image, confirm the wipe, let ImageForge apply the image, inject matching drivers, and reboot.
Why it matters
Stop rebuilding the same Windows machine again and again.
ImageForge is for teams that need repeatable deployments but do not want to spend weeks turning imaging into its own infrastructure project.
Less repetitive bench work
Replace manual installs, driver hunts, and setup checklists with a repeatable capture and deploy process.
Cleaner handoff to technicians
Technicians boot the USB, authenticate, pick the right image, and follow a constrained workflow instead of improvising.
One place for image truth
Keep images, categories, drivers, deployment profiles, and activity history on the Forge instead of scattered across folders.
What you get
A command center for your Windows image library.
The Forge gives your team a central place to manage golden images, technician access, driver packs, deployment profiles, storage, and audit history.

Golden image library
Keep deployable Windows images organized by name, category, operating system, technician, size, and history.
Hardware-aware drivers
Attach driver packs to machine models so deployments can adapt to the laptops and desktops on your bench.
Deployment profiles
Apply naming rules, organization settings, first-boot scripts, and other finish-work that normally happens by hand.
Audit and inventory
See who captured or deployed what, which machine was touched, which image was used, and whether the job succeeded.
Why teams switch
The control you need, without the heavyweight imaging stack.
No PXE on day one
Start with USB boot media and prove the workflow before adding network boot complexity.
Works where cloud tools do not
Run on local networks, imaging VLANs, repair benches, and environments where internet access is limited.
Windows-native imaging
Build around WIM images and WinPE workflows your IT team can reason about and troubleshoot.
Know what happened
Capture and deploy events flow into a history you can review, export, and use for accountability.
Security
Built for networks where images are sensitive.
Golden images can contain software, configuration, and access decisions. ImageForge treats the image server like infrastructure that needs authentication, encryption, and traceability.
Offline activation
Activate a Forge with a signed license key that verifies locally, even on an isolated imaging network.
Admin and technician access
Admins manage the console. Technicians use access codes so image actions are tied to the person doing the work.
Server verification
Boot media can pin the Forge certificate fingerprint so technicians know they are talking to the right server.
Destructive action guardrails
Deploy requires WinPE, an explicit wipe confirmation, and image verification before the operating system is applied.
Pricing
Simple licensing for teams that image PCs.
Start with a bench pilot, then grow by Forge server and technician seats as ImageForge becomes part of your deployment workflow.

Downloads
Grab the software. Your license is the key.
Downloads are open — an ImageForge server won't capture or deploy anything until it's activated with a license key, and boot media is inert without an activated Forge and a technician access code. Install first, activate when you're ready.
ImageForge Server Installer
Installs the Forge as a Windows service, walks through server name and license, and configures the firewall and file sharing for direct capture.
Download installerImageForge Boot ISO
The technician boot environment. Write it to any USB stick with Rufus (GPT, UEFI) and boot the machines you want to capture or deploy.

Prove it with the machines sitting on your bench.
The best ImageForge demo is not a slide deck. It is your source PC, your target PC, your storage, and a real reimage job.
What the pilot includes
- A licensed Forge server for your test environment
- Guided USB or ISO boot media setup
- A technician workflow for capture, deploy, and diagnostics
- A validation checklist for images, drivers, and audit history
- Storage guidance for local disk or NAS-backed image libraries
What you bring
- A Windows machine or VM to run the Forge
- One source PC with the Windows setup you want to reuse
- One wipe-safe target PC for deployment testing
- Any special NIC or storage drivers your hardware needs
- A short test window where destructive deploy is expected

FAQ
Questions before you try it.
Does ImageForge require PXE?
No. ImageForge starts with USB or ISO boot media, which is easier to pilot and does not require DHCP, TFTP, or network-boot changes.
Can activation work offline?
Yes. License keys are signed by the vendor and verified locally by the Forge, so activation works on air-gapped imaging networks.
Can one image handle multiple hardware models?
Yes, that is the purpose of driver packs. The client detects the target model and injects matching drivers during deploy.
Is ImageForge a replacement for large enterprise tools?
ImageForge is aimed at teams that want a lighter, bench-friendly deployment system. It can complement larger tooling, but it is designed to be useful without a full enterprise imaging rollout.
