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. When the image is booted, Plug and Play (PnP) runs and associates the drivers in the store to the corresponding devices on the computer.   Note To add drivers to a Windows 10 image offline, you must use a technician computer running Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, or Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE) for Windows 10. Driver signature verification may fail when you add a driver to a Windows 10 im...

Create bootable WinPE media (Information from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/winpe-create-usb-bootable-drive ) The Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) includes the CopyPE and MakeWinPEMedia command line utilities. When run from the Deployment and Imaging Tools Environment, CopyPE creates a working set of WinPE files, that MakeWinPEMedia can use to create bootable WinPE media. MakeWinPEMedia can create bootable WinPE USB drives, virtual hard disks, or ISOs that allow you to boot a VHD or burn to a DVD or CD. CopyPE and MakeWinPEMedia are installed when you choose the Deployment tools and Windows Preinstallation Environment options when installing the ADK. If you're using the ADK for Windows 10, version 1809, Windows PE is a separate add-on that you download and install after you install the ADK. You can download the WinPE add-on from the Download Center. Step 1: Create working files No matter what type of media you're go...
