How to clone installed software from one PC to another


I have to set-up and configure a computer classroom on my university, which will consist of 15 machines running Windows 10 (OEM). I need a bunch of software requiring installation (eg. MATLAB, Python, R etc.) to be available on each workstation. How can I make it in such a smart enough way that I won’t have to install all those programs individually on each machine?

Is it possible to install all the programs on a separate partition of Computer #1 and then somehow clone this partition to all the other computers? If so, using which tools?

I don’t need any “complete bit-to-bit copy of the whole OS”, just a copy the software. Of course I have a classroom license for all the programs such as MATLAB.


Solution

  • VirtualBox suited my needs perfectly, so I consider this issue resolved.
