Foundry OSD helps Windows deployment teams prepare boot media, connect devices in Windows PE, and deploy Windows through a guided workflow.
- Download Foundry OSD for an x64 or ARM64 administrator workstation.
- Follow the quick start to configure an administrator workstation and create your first deployment media.
- Configure deployment media to define networking, Windows customization, and Windows Autopilot behavior.
- Connect a device after booting into Windows PE.
- Deploy Windows by selecting a target disk, operating system, and driver pack.
- Troubleshoot a problem using stage-specific symptoms, evidence, and resolutions.
Foundry uses three applications in one deployment lifecycle:
- Foundry OSD runs on an administrator workstation and creates ISO or USB deployment media.
- Foundry Connect runs in Windows PE and verifies that the target device has usable network access.
- Foundry Deploy runs in Windows PE and guides the technician through Windows deployment.
{% hint style="warning" %} Creating or updating USB media and deploying Windows can erase data. Verify the selected USB device and target disk before confirming a destructive operation. {% endhint %}
