Re: difference between the bryan smart windows image and the other one?
@Green Gables Fan
Yes, you can use my or even Bryan Smart's talking WinPE to install Windows 10 in VMWare Fusion/Workstation.
My reason for creating a Windows 8.1 PE was the lack of SecureBoot and EFI support.
However, if your only goal is using Windows 10 in a virtual machine, you don't need SecureBoot and may use even Bryan Smart's Windows 7 based talking installer.
This is how you do it:
Create a VM and attach the iso of the bootable WinPE.
Note that the 64bit version of the talking installer can only perform installation of Windows 64bit, and that it requires minimum 1 GB of memory.
So if you want Windows 10 32bit (X86) you must start the Windows setup from the X86 based WinPE.
This is very important, and the main reason why many users report issues.
Note that the Easy Install feature at least in some VMWare products (VMWare Workstation 11) does not autodetect Windows 10 build 10240 RTM and therefore can 't generate the autounattend file used to automate the clean installation.
But starting the talking WinPE environment from a VM and then starting the Windows setup solves that problem.
If you already have a running Windows 7 or 8.1 system, you can use Dism to deploy the Windows 10 image manually to a virtual machine.
Create an empty VHD or VMDK disk image of suitable size (enough to host a full installation of Windows 10) and create an active NTFS partition from within Diskpart.
I have described the procedure in detail and there is a lot of information to Google.
