Exports Windows Recovery Environment images and stages supporting Windows OS content from verified Enterprise ESD files.

| Property | Value                                                                             |
| -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Module   | OSDeploy                                                                          |
| Platform | Windows 11 25H2 build 26200 or later (amd64 / arm64)                              |
| Requires | PowerShell 7.6, Administrator rights, DISM cmdlets, `robocopy.exe`, valid license |
| Output   | `System.IO.DirectoryInfo` for each completed export                               |

## Syntax

```powershell
Update-OSDeployCoreRE [[-Architecture] <String>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]
```

## Parameters

| Parameter       | Type     | Required | Description                                                                                          |
| --------------- | -------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `-Architecture` | `String` | No       | `amd64` or `arm64`. Omission processes every verified architecture in the newest catalog cache.      |
| `-WhatIf`       | `Switch` | No       | Verify sources and resolve destinations without exporting content. Core initialization still occurs. |
| `-Confirm`      | `Switch` | No       | Confirm each destination export.                                                                     |

## Examples

```powershell
Update-OSDeployCoreRE
```

```powershell
Update-OSDeployCoreRE -Architecture 'amd64' -WhatIf
```

The command uses ESD indexes 1, 2, and 3 for setup media, WinPE, and WinSetup, exports the first Enterprise non-N image as `install.wim`, then extracts WinRE and supporting content. A source is skipped only when both matching Windows OS and Windows RE destinations exist. Skipped exports return no object.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://www.osdeploy.com/command-reference/osdeploy/update-osdeploycorere.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
