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?

If it can't cost anything, and time is not too much of an issue, you might want to use winget or chocolatey. If there's packages, you can write the script quite easily, then run it on every machine.
