# Capture Image

Initiate the task of creating Images of the selected computers through Deep Freeze Cloud Console through *Capture Image*. The selected computers will undergo a system preparation procedure that will require configuring the OS settings again.

{% hint style="info" %}
Computer imaging can not be performed on:

* Computers with pending reboot after performing Windows Updates.
* Computers with no user logged in.
* Computers connected to Wi-Fi networks. Computers must be connected to the Internet via LAN connection.
* A 32-bit computer.
  {% endhint %}

To capture the image of a selected computer:

1. Click *Capture Image*.
2. Select pre-configured Install Settings to automate the Windows Out-of-Box Experience.
3. Specify the *Image Name* and *Description*, and enter the *Product Key* (optional).
4. Select *Reboot Computer Before Capture* to reboot the computer before proceeding with the *Capture Image* task.
5. Select *Install All Windows Updates* to install all pending Windows Updates before proceeding with the *Capture Image* task.
6. Select *Are You Sure You Want to Continue?*
7. Click *Capture Image*.

Once complete, the image will be shown in the list of *Images* on the imaging server and can then be deployed to client systems using a Deployment Package.
