Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
In the Out Of Box Experience, the user is prompted through several settings screens. Presumably, many of these settings can, or will be able to, be set using DSC resources. Some I.T departments may be reflashing or setting up many, many devices each day and going through the OOBE for each device can take time - even when tools and automation are used.
It would be nice if at the beginning of OOBE there would be a button or link where a user could select an option like I have a configuration file. This would allow the user to pass in a configuration file to complete the setup of the machine. Additionally, this configuration could be passed to the OOBE through Intune or other integration leading to easier management of a fully automated and headless install of a new Windows image

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points beyond the OOBE flow and the winget configure command. Start by mapping how OOBE can receive configuration through Intune or another integration, then determine the supported user-facing and automated paths. Done should include a defined way to supply a configuration file during OOBE and complete setup headlessly.
