Sometimes the system disk has already installed the Windows 10/11 system, but due to hardware replacement or switching to another platform (AMD to Intel or Intel to AMD), there are some system configuration differences, mainly in power policy and big core scheduling, which require processing the system. Generally, there are several methods:

When we use the same system hard disk to switch from the IU platform to the AU platform, or from the AU platform to the IU platform, or from the desktop platform to the notebook platform, we hope to clear the override default values used by the old CPU/old platform and then regenerate the override default values used by the new CPU/new platform.

In addition to reinstalling the system, we can also uninstall the corresponding ppkg and then reinstall the ppkg to achieve this goal.

For example, switching from the Intel platform to the AMD platform:

  1. Uninstall Intel's ppkg to clear the override default values used by the old CPU/old platform.

Use the command line terminal with administrator privileges, enter the command Uninstall-ProvisioningPackage -PackagePath C:\\Windows\\Provisioning\\Packages\\Power.Settings.Processor.Intel.ppkg

  1. Reinstall AMD's ppkg to regenerate the override default values used by the new CPU/new platform.

Using the "Install-ProvisioningPackage" command to directly install ppkg will result in an error and installation failure. The Provisioning Tool must be used to install it successfully.

First, restart the computer, use the command line terminal with administrator privileges, enter the command "C:\\Windows\\system32\\ProvTool.exe /turn 5 /source LogonIdleTask", which will install all ppkg in the "C:\Windows\Provisioning\Packages" directory.

  • Using the Windows built-in sysprep tool:

cd \Windows\System32\Sysprep

sysprep /generalize /shutdown

This method can delete the system's SID, GUID, and after restarting, enter the OOBE state for new deployment.
