copype amd64 C:\DLC_ISO_Project This creates C:\DLC_ISO_Project\media – your ISO root. Extract the Dell Driver CAB into a subfolder inside WinPE:
From your ADK directory, run:

Create C:\DLC_ISO_Project\media\DLC_LAUNCHER.PS1 that runs on boot: dlc boot uefi iso

Step 3: Configure UEFI Boot Entry UEFI requires an EFI bootloader. Copy the 64-bit UEFI bootloader: if you add custom scripts
