After my boring and exhaustive postings *phew*, I wll finally write down the steps to create the images in a “perfect” sequence (especially for perfectionists like me):

01) After installing the Operating System, create an image using Acronis True Image;

02) After installing Windows Update updates;

03) After activation of the Operating System;

04) After the installation of Microsoft Office;

05) After installing updates from Microsoft Update (Windows Update + Office Update + Updates from any Microsoft products);

06) After activation of the Office;

07) After installing the latest drivers;

08) After installing the latest versions of the softwares;

09) After installing Internet Security of your choice;

10) You can create image periodically.

It is clear that this step is only a parameter because you have the freedom to adjust it according to your convenience.
