Making a “Generic†system image for other machines

I am aware of how to make the normal system image, and I know it works on machines of similar make/model.
What I am here to ask is, can Ubuntu be set up to use only the Generic drivers before imaging?
For 14.04 and 16.04 if possible
To explain, the LiveUSB works on almost everything, more specifically, its drivers. I know that imaging one system with, say, amd, then putting it on intel would cause problems, so, can system generic drivers be set instead of specific?
I am making images for the Linux department at school, and I thought I'd work on it from home but, the machine I have is an e4300, while the ones they want me to work with are D-series. I am not sure if an Image of X would work on Y.
Here's the dumb question: Does it already do this by default and I'm just not aware of it?

if all the drivers needed on both machines are in the kernel there should be no issue other than maybe installing firmware.
