✨ Highlights

• Desktop UI First: Build WinPE-based ISO and bootable USB deployment media straight from a clean Windows application.
• Native Windows 11 Support: Fully supports Windows 11 23H2, 24H2, and 25H2 across both x64 and ARM64.
• Automated Driver Matching: Say goodbye to driver hunting. Enjoy best-in-class automated driver handling for OEMs like Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Microsoft Surface.
• Guided Zero-Touch & Lite-Touch: Interactive prompts for target disk selection, OS version, machine naming, localization, and Autopilot staging natively inside WinPE.

🔄 The Deployment Workflow

Foundry breaks down the deployment journey into 4 straightforward steps:

1. 🏗️ Create Media: Run the Foundry desktop app on your admin PC to craft your deployment media.
2. 🌐 Connect: Boot the target device into WinPE. Foundry Connect immediately kicks in to validate and secure wired or Wi-Fi network access.
3. 🎯 Deploy: Foundry Deploy launches a guided UI to select the target disk, desired OS, and auto-fetches the matched hardware drivers.
4. ✅ Finish: The OS image is downloaded, applied, and configured. The device reboots into a ready-to-use Windows state.

🌍 The Foundry Ecosystem

Foundry is more than just a single executable. It is supported by a modular ecosystem across dedicated repositories ensuring stability and easy contribution:

• foundry (This repository): The core repository containing the Windows desktop authoring app and the WinPE runtime agents (Connect and Deploy).
• catalog: The automated backend engine that dynamically curates driver packs and OS catalogs, ensuring you always inject the exact vendor drivers needed during deployment.
• foundry-osd.github.io: Our comprehensive documentation and developer hub.
