Hello , i just read that i can inject driver to install.wim file, and for install.esd file i need to convert it to install.wim file first.
i want to know if injecting to install.wim file and then convert back to install.esd , will the injected drivers still there ?
also i think it will increase the image size to be larger than fat32 partition can handle, is there any workaround to insert driver in install.esd and keep the size under 4 GB so that it can be installed using USB with fat32 partition, perhaps by removing the unnecessary drivers from the image ?
i read that UEFI must be installed from FAT32 partition, is it true ?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
You seem to know what you are doing related to adding and removing drivers from Windows Image files. So if you need larger files, a USB drive can be created with a small FAT32 partition for booting and a larger NTFS partition to accommodate the larger files.
Rufus will do that or you can do it yourself.. Maybe Greg's links cover this.. I have been wanting to verify the Rufus operation but have been unable to locate one of the Install media downloads that has a file larger than 4 GBs.
Hi Formerly.
See how to slipstream drivers into Windows 10 installation media using easy automated free Nlite:

Once the ISO is compiled use one of these methods to create bootable flash media:

I hope this helps. Based on what you report back I can answer any questions and may have other steps to perform. If you'll wait to rate whether my post was helpful, I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
