Please install BoMC on your laptop or other computer. It does not support WIN PE. It is used to create bootable media for you to update the firmware.

So, please confirm that using BoMC (and selecting all used models) are better choice than using Dynamic System **bleep**ysis + Advanced Settings Utility at first step, than UpdateXpress + OneCLI + Scripting Toolkit on the second step.

May be You not clear understanding how BoMC work: it's collect all packets and after that able to make any media: CD, or DVD, or USB....
