i heard about something like this but dont have the details, also im not sure if it is legal or not, but im sure it is possible to make a customized version of windows and add all the updates plus some some software.

Yes, indeed you can make a Windows Installation Disk with your updates, softwares, drivers and more. Whats more, you can have them installed automatically as well. Download and use nLite to perform the task.
