%windir%\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe /audit /reboot

​after rebooting, check options "generalize" and "shutdown", delete all existing users from "advanced system settings/profiles" first, and then from "users" with "computer management", and proceed with the commands below:

run "disk cleanup"

from cmd run:

dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase

shutdown the vm using the sysprep program, change the boot order to boot from winpe, boot winpe. from diskpart assign A (the disk you will capture from) to the source, and B to the target (the disk where you'll put the .wim on).

Note: "B" must be big enough to handle the .wim image (approx 40GB) and to be attached to the vm prior booting from "winpe".
