Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software and Wi-Fi Drivers for IT AdministratorsIntel

Overview

The Intel ProSet/Wireless IT administrator pack is a ZIP archive containing .inf-based drivers for Intel Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 6E, and Wi-Fi 7 adapters. OSDeploy downloads the pack, extracts it using Expand-Archive, and injects drivers into the WinPE image at build time.

WiFi drivers are only needed for WinRE-based boot images. ADK-generated WinPE does not support wireless hardware. When no imported OS sources are present, Update-OSDeployCoreDrivers excludes Wi-Fi packages automatically.

Download with OSDeploy
