OSDCloud
OSDCloud deploys Windows 11 through the internet from a WinPE environment, without local deployment infrastructure. It runs with the OSDCloud or OSD PowerShell modules and supports Windows 11 versions 23H2 through 25H2 on amd64 and arm64 systems. Windows images are downloaded from Microsoft during deployment. Drivers and firmware can come from Microsoft Update Catalog, while driver packs are available from Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Microsoft Surface. The FAQ says any UEFI device compatible with Windows should work. After deployment, local PowerShell modules are updated so the device can enter OOBE and be prepared for Windows Autopilot. A WinPE function can authenticate to Azure with device code flow. Provisioning packages may be placed on ISO media or USB and applied to the offline operating system. Requirements include a WinPE boot image, suitable drivers, internet access, PowerShell, and the OSDCloud or OSD modules. The Community Tool plan is free.
