# 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.

Computer imaging can not be performed on:

1. Computers with pending reboot after performing Windows Updates.
2. Computers with no user logged in.
3. Computers connected to Wi-Fi networks. Computers must be connected to the Internet via LAN connection.
4. 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.
