Add and Remove Drivers to an offline Windows Image or WinPE

Add and Remove Drivers to an offline Windows Image Link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/add-and-remove-drivers-to-an-offline-windows-image You can use DISM to install or remove driver (.inf) files in an offline Windows or WinPE image. You can either add or remove the drivers directly by using the command prompt, or apply an unattended answer file to a mounted .wim, .ffu, .vhd, or .vhdx file. When you use DISM to install a device driver to an offline image, the device driver is added to the driver store in the offline image.
