🔐 MOK Manager Prompt (First Boot)
- On first boot, a blue screen labeled “Perform MOK Management” may appear.
- Select “Enroll key from disk.”
- Navigate to the EFI partition on the USB and choose:
Enroll_this_key_in_MOKmanager.cer - Confirm, then reboot the machine.
3. Boot Into Medicat Portable Windows (WinPE):
🚀 Booting Into the PE Environment
- Plug in your Medicat USB or SSD.
- Start the Computer
- Enter BIOS/UEFI (F2, DEL, ESC, or F12 during startup).
- Set USB/SSD as the primary boot device or use the boot menu (F12).
- Select the ISO in Ventoy Menu
- The Ventoy boot menu will appear.
- Choose the Medicat.2023.x.iso (or your version).
💻 Choose Your Windows PE Version
From the Medicat boot menu, choose:
- Mini Windows 10
- Mini Windows 11
- Medicat Windows 10 PE or 11 PE
Wait 1–3 minutes for the environment to fully load.
4. Install/Update Drivers via Snappy Driver Installer (SDI):
-
On the desktop or in the PortableApps menu, look for:
-
Snappy Driver Installer
-
Or browse to
Medicat\Programs\Snappy Driver Installer
-
There are typically two versions:
SDI Lite: Downloads only the drivers you need (requires internet)
SDI Full: Contains a full driver pack (larger file size, no internet needed)
3. Launch SDI
-
Right-click and run
Snappy Driver Installer.exeas Administrator (recommended). -
If prompted to update the tool itself, allow it.
4. Scan for Missing/Outdated Drivers
-
SDI will scan the system for any missing, outdated, or corrupt drivers.
-
Once the scan completes, a list of recommended drivers will appear.
5. Select Drivers to Install
-
You can:
-
Click “Select All” for automatic updates.
-
Or manually choose individual drivers.
-
⚠️ Tip: Avoid unnecessary driver updates unless you’re sure they're needed — especially on critical systems.
6. Download (Lite) or Install (Full)
-
SDI Lite: Downloads drivers from the internet (requires network access).
-
SDI Full: Installs directly from the included database.
7. Install Drivers
-
Click “Install (Expert Mode)” or just “Install”.
-
Wait for the process to complete — this may take a few minutes depending on how many drivers are being installed.
8. Reboot (Optional)
-
After installing drivers, you may be prompted to reboot. In a PE environment, rebooting will reset the session — so only do this if you’re preparing the OS for deployment.
5. Update PortableApps in Mini Windows:
🌐 Confirm Network Access
- Boot into Mini Windows 10/11 from the Medicat ISO.
- Open a browser to confirm internet connectivity.
- If no internet, connect via Ethernet or use Snappy Driver Installer to load Wi-Fi drivers.
🔄 Check & Install Updates
- In the PortableApps menu, go to Apps → Check for Updates…
- Select the apps you wish to update, or click Select All.
- Click Next and allow downloads/installations to complete.
- This ensures your tools stay up-to-date with the latest versions.
