📄️ Customize WinPE
Host Provisioning WinPE Preparation Tool allows you to customize your WinPE image with several options.
📄️ Drivers on WinPE
It might be necessary to add additional drivers to a WinPE image, some missing drivers needed for a successful deployment are network and disk controller drivers. Network is needed to contact Host Provisioning Server and deploy the image, with the disk controller hard disks can be accessed. Most drivers are already included but you can find some network card or disk controller which is not detected, and need to be added.
📄️ ADK Versions
For 802x support or to get the lightest deployment image, you need to install the Windows PE add-on for Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) with the same versioning as the Windows ISO image you are using to prepare the boot image. Look in the Windows Builds column for the Windows version of the ISO you are going to use and download the corresponding ADK/WinPE add-on version.
