How to easily run a flow on a blank PC

Hi,

I am an IT helpdesk employee, I made a flow to prepare a computer that just finished imaging for a user.
It takes as input some credentials, than run some scripts and logs on to all software the user needs.

Initially I thought I would have a flow file which I can run -

than with a Batch file on the target computer I would install Power Automate, run the flow, and than uninstall the software, but it seems like I can't export the flow as a file.

How can I run the flow on a computer without manually login in to my own account to run it?

Hi @Anonymous

I replied to your other message in the PAD Topic DIscussion.

At the moment with Power Automate Desktop, there is no way to export or schedule the Flows from your PC. Attended and Unattended scheduling is via PowerAutomate Portal -> Desktop Flows and requires that the end user has the Gateway tool installed.

You can run flows manually from your PC using the PAD console. If you are logging into the PAD tool as the owner of the Flow, you should be able to run it from any PC I would have thought, albeit I have not tested this.
