Getting started with Image Assist
This section provides information about setting up your system, downloading Image Assist, and installing it.
Setting up your system
To create an image, you can use Dell OptiPlex, Dell Latitude, and Dell Precision systems, on which imaging is an option.
NOTE: Ensure that the system that you order from Dell and the build base are of the same model and have the same
configuration.
Before you begin using Image Assist, ensure that you:
● Use the Windows 10 operating system.
● Document the image build. This document helps in troubleshooting the image. Update the document when you create a new
image.
● Update the build base to the latest version of BIOS available at https://www.dell.com/support.
● Back up your work before capturing the image.
