Deploy Windows 10 to Precision 3630 including drivers

I need to deploy Windows 10 to a bunch of Precision 3630 machines. So I made a USB boot drive to install Windows 10. Then I set out to add the necessary drivers to install.wim. There's only one drive package for presumably ALL 3630 types ever made, since it's about 1.3 GB in size. I dont like adding 1.3 GB of drivers to install.wim. So how do I know which drivers I need to extract from this enormous heap? For Audio it's easy - there's just one folder. Chipset lists 6 folders, but it houses a whole bunch of subfolders.

So how do I extract the right drivers for the model I have?

    Hi @Simon Weel ,

    Check this out:

    Precision 3630 Tower Workstation: Windows 10 Driver install order

    Take Chipset for example, all those 6 folders you mentioned related to drivers for different purpose. You may need them all actually.

    Ok.... not exactly the answer I was hoping for. Anyway, I took a second look at the driver heap and it turns out the video-folder is by far the biggest. The rest is pretty decent in size; putting them in an image isn't that big a deal. I'll see what happens when I try....
