Installing the MetaDefender Kiosk Hardened Image
You can now use this deployment USB to flash a device with the Hardened image.
In order to apply the image to a device please do the following:
Insert your deployment USB into the device.
Boot the device from the off state and initiate the keyboard shortcut to enter the system BIOS or “one-time” boot menu. (This keyboard shortcut varies based on motherboard manufacturers)
Select the deployment USB in the boot menu. Ensure you are booting into UEFI mode or the image will not boot properly.
Boot up the PC with the USB that we just created
Follow the on-screen command prompt questions:
If available enter your Windows License key.
Select the drive to install the image. All data will be wiped.
Choose whether or not to do a full pass wipe (Selecting "Yes" will take much longer).
