PowerShell Scripting - Update Windows 10 USB install media  

avismile10 said:

Microsoft just again released version 1809, i have an image with 1803, i want to know if there is a way for me to update the 1803 image to 1809.

Thanks in advance.

No, there isn't. Upgrading a deployment image or install media (ISO image) is not possible.

Can't see any script in your post. Please upload and post it.

I attached the script, however, here is the whole thing:

Fixing one obvious syntax error and one peculiarity in your script, it worked perfectly. In screenshot I am injecting my laptop's OEM drivers to mounted offline image:


The syntax error:


Highlighted part corrected:


And the peculiarity:


No reason to use another variable when you have already read path to folder containing drivers to variable $DriverFolder:
