What "extras" do you have on your Windows 10 installer USB stick and why?

Hi everyone,

I'm always on the look-out for ways to improve how to clean install Windows 10.

So I was hoping you may like to share which "extras" you have on your installer USB stick that you use whilst/when you have installed Windows 10 and any other tips you may have when doing a clean install?

All the best,

Moley

I've got loads of mp3's & podcasts on my usb win 10 install stick although that's just for listening to in my truck and sod all to do with installing 10 itself!

Generally I just keep a reasonably upto date version of the OS and the latest network drivers for my motherboard on there.

I would have more but drivers and programs go so quickly out of date and connections are so fast it's hardly worth bothering.

Once it's up and running things like Chrome, MSSE, TransmissionQt et al. get installed.

Bootable installer, winrar, office, wireless drivers, lan and cloning software.
