## Overview

HP distributes its WinPE driver pack as a SoftPaq self-extracting executable. The pack covers HP EliteBook, ProBook, ZBook, EliteDesk, ProDesk, and Z workstation hardware. OSDeploy downloads the SoftPaq, extracts it using the HP self-extractor switches, and injects the drivers at boot image build time.

## Download with OSDeploy

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

**Download HP packages:**

```powershell
Update-OSDeployCoreDrivers -Name 'hp'
```

**Download only (skip expansion):**

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

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

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

***

## Manual Download

Visit the HP WinPE Driver Pack page and download the latest SoftPaq:

<https://ftp.ext.hp.com/pub/caps-softpaq/cmit/HP_WinPE_DriverPack.html>

Extract the SoftPaq to your driver staging folder:

```powershell
$DestinationPath = 'C:\WinPEDrivers\HP'
New-Item -Path $DestinationPath -ItemType Directory -Force | Out-Null
& "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads\HPWinPEDriverPack.exe" /s /e /f $DestinationPath
```

# 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 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/hp.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.
