Simply create a New-OSBuildTask adding the **`WinPEOSDCloud`** parameter. You can optionally add Windows Recovery Environment support by adding the **`WinREWiFi`** parameter ![](https://1642863114-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LmIIKLDn2u7Sp5DGyF2%2F-Mek4zOgvd6uiauuCrfC%2F-Mek67vUVcczFtnGpT4g%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=b496c47d-6519-487b-ad87-9f3a45a0d44f) The OSDClould integration will add PowerShell Gallery support to WinPE WinRE and WinSE and install the OSD PowerShell Module Keep in mind for all of this to work, you need PowerShell added, so add your ADK files as appropriate ![](https://1642863114-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LmIIKLDn2u7Sp5DGyF2%2F-Mek4zOgvd6uiauuCrfC%2F-Mek8bOlt9kL5jPZ1USl%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=f62bb554-b56e-4110-bddc-d75929b2bf8f) If you enabled WinREWiFi, the latest Intel Wireless Drivers will be automatically downloaded and added to your WinRE (since WiFi only works in WinRE, not WinPE and WinSE) ![](https://1642863114-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LmIIKLDn2u7Sp5DGyF2%2F-Mek4zOgvd6uiauuCrfC%2F-Mek6qhtsEjlH404Waxh%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=3e90dc4e-35ae-4ace-a74d-dc570672117d) Once that is done, you can now start OSDCloud from Windows Setup or Windows Recovery Environment ![](https://1642863114-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LmIIKLDn2u7Sp5DGyF2%2F-Mek4zOgvd6uiauuCrfC%2F-Mek96-dVvhS4c9pxxeO%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=3d5897ac-762a-44bd-babc-6f6826697fba) {% embed url="" %} ## 21.7.4 (2021 July 4) USA Independence Day Today's update resolves an issue installing the new combined SSU + LCU.

You will have to give up using Drivers, ExtraFiles, Registry, and Scripts in Templates. You have some options: * If they are not using them, delete them so you can be ready for ContentPacks * If you are using them, keep using them (for now), but you will have to migrate to ContentPacks soon enough. Adapt. ![](https://1642863114-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LmIIKLDn2u7Sp5DGyF2%2F-LsY61-ObolsLNhDHgIn%2F-LsY7TSN844JwnsadL_n%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=40371576-9954-4f82-aa72-d721908ba29e) They will continue to work for existing OSDBuilder Home paths, but not be created going forward for new OSDBuilder Home paths. Can they co-exist? Sure, but at this point I am putting all efforts into BuildPacks, and would rather kill off the duplicate functionality in Templates ### Can I keep using Template JSON Files? Yes, there are no plans to change this ### Why the change to ContentPacks? #### For me, I never could use Template Content as much as I would have liked because while I design and support OSDBuilder, I also have my day job of supporting 'The Company' This meant that I had to keep my content separate in different OSDBuilder Home directories ... often at times duplicating Updates, etc. It became rather time consuming, and let's be honest. I made OSDBuilder for me and my team first, and shared it with everyone else secondary (this isn't a paid job after all). So it seems I could never fully develop Templates as I actually need multiple Templates ... so after a few beers, and some silly names (LootCrate, ConfigPacks, OSDBuilderPackages, Box, BuildPacks) I decided on ContentPacks (one word, not two) because they are intended to replace the usage of the Content directories ### MMSJazz #### If you are attending my MMSJazz sessions, send me a DM on Twitter so I can get you a separate build of OSDBuilder :)
