5. Boot from the Windows Installation USB, do a clean install of Windows as normal, and the scripts will run automatically.

### <ins>Method 3: Use Ventoy Auto Install plugin</ins>
1. Download your preferred `autounattend.xml` file and save it on your computer.
2. Download the [Windows 10](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10) or [Windows 11](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11) ISO file, depending on the version you want.
3. Download and install [Ventoy](https://github.com/ventoy/Ventoy) to your desired USB flash drive. Before we get started, we have to prepare the folder structure:
- In your newly created Ventoy disk, create the following folders: `ISO/Windows` and `Templates`. They should be at the root of the drive.
- Put your ISOs in the newly created `ISO/Windows` folder.
- Put your downloaded `autounattend.xml` into `Templates`.
- You are ready to keep on going!
4. Start VentoyPlugson. Depending on your OS, the steps might differ. On Windows, run the `.exe` file. A browser window should open up with a Ventoy web interface ready to go.
5. Navigate to the Auto Install Plugin menu. In there, add a new entry.
- Select [parent] to make the whole Windows ISO folder benefit from the plugin.
- In the Directory Path, paste in the absolute path to your `ISO/Windows` folder.
- In the Template Path, paste in the absolute path to your `autounattend.xml` file. (PSA: If you have more `autounattend.xml` files, you can add them later on!)
6. Restart your computer and boot from the Ventoy drive. After selecting a Windows ISO under the `ISO/Windows` path, you will be prompted to select the `autounattend.xml` file.
