Dell Precision 7730 WinPE No driver support ( for PXE boot)
Okay so where do I begin...
We have a dell 7730 laptop that we just got.. its an intel core i9 , 32GB of ram, ATI graphics card. and we normally use PXE boot with our imaging solution ( desktop central) and by pressing F12 ( after enabling uefi network stack) we can get into PXE boot just fine.
However, our solution , the WinPE 10 environment does not see the network drivers for this model. I have tried EVERYTHING. We have download the Win PE 10 driver pack located here.

We also downloaded the Dell 7730 Driver CAB which has all the network drivers and more here.
Now all of our other models of dell machines boot just fine into PXE WIN 10 environment but not this model... it detects the PXE boot and loads the boot.ini thing or whatever but once the WINPE 10 environment starts It cant detect the network drivers... UGH.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!! Can anyone else get this exact model to boot into a win10 PE environment from an F12 boot? soooooo frustrating!

I just had the same issue. After trying to PXE boot with a USB to Ethernet adapter it finally worked. And i was able to get to my OSD Frontend and run my task sequence. Maybe try that aswell, it's always worth a shot.

Pulling my hair out with this one, too. Every WinPE 5.0 and 10 x64 driver for every NIC put into a Dell machine in the last 5 years, on top of the compiled WinPE 5.0 CAB, and even trying to grab the drivers manually and injecting with DISM.
No diceroni. Please give us a fixeroni.
