With POSReady, a single activation key can be entered into the image the first time it boots. With this done, the configured operating system can be sysprepped, copied and installed onto any number of systems and the systems will never have to be individually activated.
OEMs using Windows Embedded are permitted to create media for image recovery, update or field upgrade. Creating a disk with the Microsoft Windows binaries is not allowed for non-embedded Windows.
