# Capture image

Afer a Windows operating system has been prepared for capture (running sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe), the device can boot to Windows PE.  The Capture image step will capture a Windows image (.wim) file and automatically upload it to the specified operating system content item.

The **Create a new version** checkbox will add a new content item version each time the **Capture Image** step is run.  If that is not checked, the captured OS image will overwrite the content item version selected.
