## Overview

The Dell WinPE 11 driver pack is a self-contained cabinet (`.cab`) archive that contains network, storage, and input drivers for the full range of Dell client and commercial devices. OSDeploy downloads the pack, expands it into the OSDeployCore repository using `expand.exe`, and injects the drivers at boot image build time.

## Download with OSDeploy

Use `Update-OSDeployCoreDrivers` to refresh the Dell driver catalog and download the driver pack.

**Download Dell packages:**

```powershell
Update-OSDeployCoreDrivers -Name 'dell'
```

**Download only (skip expansion):**

```powershell
Update-OSDeployCoreDrivers -Name 'dell' -DownloadOnly
```

**View downloaded Dell driver folders in the library:**

```powershell
Get-OSDeployCoreDrivers -Architecture amd64
```

***

## Manual Download

Visit the Dell WinPE 11 Driver Pack support page and download the latest `.cab` file:

<https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000211541/winpe-11-driver-pack>

Expand the downloaded cab to your driver staging folder:

```powershell

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.osdeploy.com/core-components/winpe-drivers/dell.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
