    Hello there,

    It is required as far as this article goes.

    Driver packages that pass Windows Hardware Lab Kit (HLK) testing can be digitally-signed by WHQL. If your driver package is digitally-signed by WHQL, it can be distributed through the Windows Update program or other Microsoft-supported distribution mechanisms.

    Hope this resolves your Query !!
