Quick Start: OSDCloud

OSDCloud deploys Windows directly from the internet (or a USB cache) via WinPE. The typical workflow is:

1. Create a WinPE template

New-OSDCloudTemplate -Name "OSDCloudWinPE"

2. Create a workspace and USB drive

$OSDCloudWorkspace = "C:\OSDCloudWinPE"
New-OSDCloudWorkspace -WorkspacePath $OSDCloudWorkspace
New-OSDCloudUSB

3. Optionally customize WinPE

# Add a PowerShell module into WinPE (e.g., HPCMSL for HP devices)
Edit-OSDCloudWinPE -PSModuleInstall HPCMSL

# Add 7-Zip support for extracting HP softpaqs in WinPE
Edit-OSDCloudWinPE -Add7Zip

4. Boot and deploy

Boot from the OSDCloud USB drive. From WinPE, launch the deployment:

# GUI (recommended for interactive deployments)
Start-OSDCloudGUI

# Command line
Start-OSDCloud -OSName "Windows 11 24H2 x64" -OSEdition Pro
