I heard about devbox [1] but I haven't tried it yet. Perhaps it could suit your needs. Back in the day I used "Norton Ghost" to create a full image of a just-installed windows just in case I needed to go back in time. Windows includes a snapshot feature built-in but I did not really trusted it. These days you can use a "sysprep" tool [2] to create a similar system snapshot. Make a partition and keep everything you... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

You can try to use something like Window PE or Linux from an usb and modify your boot loader. Source: almost 3 years ago
If your school computers weren't configured to prevent booting on a USB flash drive, you can make a bootable Windows PE USB flash drive, make your school computers boot on it, and use regedit from Windows PE to edit the Windows registry of the Windows install on the computer's hard drive, as I have yet to see any school computer on which the Windows partition is encrypted.
