mass-install tool - Install software to classroom PCs (lemmy.world)

I thought this was the right place to ask, let me know if somewhere else was better.

I have a classroom in a public school with around 30 PCs (windows) I need to install software on (python and codium). They are all the same PCs. In the past there was a management system but due to some licensing issues that does not work anymore.

How its been done before: Go to each and every PC and setup everything manually, or do it once and mirror the HDD 30 times .... both ways very time consuming.

I thought there might be a better way to do this, do you have any idea?

Me as a potato would use https://ninite.com/ for python and figure out a silent install for codium and make a batch script to install them.

I would also look into setting up a https://fogproject.org/ server to image windows devices if you have no money or resources.
