Py-Deploy on Windows

Quick deployment with minimal pre-work

Py-Deploy has been tested on Windows versions from Windows 7 to Windows 10. It runs well on Windows, despite Windows not coming with Python. A batch file is downloaded from a central server, which establishes network drives to the required resources. Miniconda Python is loaded as a "portable" version in RAM from a network share, and immediately becomes the central environment for the rest of the deployment. Py-Deploy can deploy Windows out-of-the-box from virtually any PC maker in under 20 minutes, though a clean install is recommended.
