How to Add Drivers to AOMEI Backupper Bootable Media

When you boot the computer from AOMEI Backupper bootable media, you may find that your wireless keyboard, mouse, USB devices, NAS and some other kinds of devices are not available to use. In this case, you may need to add the driver to the AOMEI Backupper bootable media.

Why is your device not available in AOMEI Backupper WinPE?

You may have experienced that when you add a new external device to the computer, Windows Device Manager will inform you that it is detecting this device and then installing the driver. Only after that, your device will be available to use. In fact, the Windows operating system firmware only includes a few frequently-used drivers and they may not be compatible with your device.

AOMEI Backupper WinPE bootable media is created based on the original Windows copy. If the original copy of Windows is not compatible with your device, the AOMEI bootable media will be the same.
