Install the Windows ADK offline

To install the Windows ADK on a PC that does not have Internet access, first download the installer files on a PC that has internet access. Next, copy the installer files to a location that is accessible to the offline computer. Then run ADKSetup.exe using either the GUI or the command line.

Using the GUI

1. On a PC that has Internet access, see Download and install the Windows ADK.
2. Click one of the links to download the ADK version you desire, and Save adksetup.exe to a location on your computer.
3. Run ADKSetup.exe. After a few seconds, the Specify Location screen appears.

The success of this step requires that you run ADKSetup.exe on a computer with an Internet connection and without a copy of Windows ADK installed. If you have Windows ADK installed and do not wish to uninstall it, consider following the instructions in the «Using the command line» section below instead.

Using the command line

If you have a scenario where you need to silently install the Windows ADK, you can install using the command line.

On a PC that has Internet access, see Download and install the Windows ADK.

Click one of the links to download the ADK version you desire, and Save adksetup.exe to a location on your computer.

Open a Command Prompt window as administrator.

Change to the directory that stores the Adksetup.exe file:

Run adksetup.exe. Use /quiet to run the installer silently. Use /layout to specify where the offline install files will be copied to.

Copy the downloaded files to a location that the offline computer can access. For example, copy the files to removable media or to a file server that the offline computer can access.

On the offline computer, open a Command Prompt window as an administrator.

Download and install the Windows ADK

The Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) has the tools you need to customize Windows images for large-scale deployment, and to test the quality and performance of your system, its added components, and the applications running on it. The Windows ADK includes:

The Windows Assessment Toolkit and the Windows Performance Toolkit to assess the quality and performance of systems or components.

Deployment tools such as WinPE, Sysprep, and other tools that you can use to customize and deploy Windows 10 images.

Starting with Windows 10, version 1809, Windows Preinstallation Environment (PE) is released separately from the Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK). To add Windows PE to your ADK installation, download the Windows PE Addon and run the included installer after installing the ADK. This change enables post-RTM updates to tools in the ADK. After you run the installer, the WinPE files will be in the same location as they were in previous ADK installs.

A Windows ADK for Windows 10, version 20H2 will not be released. You can use the Windows ADK for Windows 10, version 2004 To deploy Windows 10, version 20H2.

For additional command line options used to manage the Windows ADK, see ADKSetup.exe Command-Line Syntax.

To check for Windows ADK updates

On a computer that has Internet access, run the latest version of ADK Setup from this Microsoft website.

Warning
The Windows ADK does not automatically download updated features. You must run the latest version of ADKSetup.exe from the Microsoft website to determine if there are any updates.

If there are updates, you will be prompted to install the latest versions of those features.

To install updates to an offline computer, you must download ADKSetup.exe as well as the updated features. Then, you must copy those features and ADKSetup.exe to the offline computer. Run ADKSetup.exe and install the updated feature to the offline computer.

On a computer that has Internet access, run the latest version of ADK Setup from this Microsoft website.

In the Specify Location page, choose a location to download the ADK installer and the selected features.

Copy the ADK files to the offline computer.

Run ADKSetup.exe to install updated features.

ADKSetup.exe Command-Line Syntax

ADKSetup.exe uses the following syntax when you run it in a Command Prompt window. You can specify the options in any order.

ADKSetup/uninstall [/features [ [ …] ] [</norestart | /promptrestart | /forcerestart>] [/q] [/l

The following table describes the usage of each command option. These options are not case sensitive.

Specifies whether users can opt in to a customer experience improvement program (CEIP), which sends anonymous usage data to Microsoft. If you also specify the /layout option, the CEIP applies only to data about the current download. If you omit the /layout option, the CEIP setting is saved to the registry of the local computer and applies to all Windows kits installed on the computer, including the Windows® Logo Kit (WLK) and Windows Driver Kit (WDK).

If you omit this option, the behavior is off.

Overrides the default directory and file name of the ADK Setup log file. If you specify this option, you must specify the full path and the file name, including the file name extension. If you omit this option, ADK Setup writes the file to the %TEMP%\ADK directory.

Specifies how ADK Setup behaves if it requires a restart in order to finish. If a restart is not required, these options have no effect.

/forcerestart closes applications and restarts the computer without prompting the user.

/norestart does not close applications or restart the computer, and does not notify the user that a restart is required to complete ADK Setup.

/promptrestart notifies the user that a restart is necessary and lets the user decide whether to restart.

Note
If you specify the /q option, ADK Setup ignores all of the restart options, and the behavior is /forcerestart.

If you specify two or all three of these options, the behavior is the option that occurs last.

If you omit all three of these options, the default behavior is /promptrestart.

Runs ADK Setup without displaying the user interface. If an error message would normally appear, ADK Setup writes that error message to the log file.

Specifies whether to only download the installation files, or to download them and then install them locally.

/installpath downloads installer files and then installs the Windows ADK locally. The

argument is required, and specifies the directory into which ADK Setup installs the features. If Windows ADK features were previously installed on this computer and the path that you specify does not match the previous path, an error occurs.

/layout downloads installer files but does not install them locally. You can use this option to download ADK Setup for a later installation of Windows ADK features on a computer that does not have Internet access. You can use this option only if you are running ADK Setup from the Internet. The

argument is optional; if you omit it, Windows ADK Setup stores installer files in the %USERPROFILE%\Downloads\Windows Kits\8.1\ADK directory.

If you specify both options, the behavior is /layout.

If you omit both options, the behavior is /installpath.

Installs the Windows ADK features that you specify as arguments.

To install all features, specify only the + argument.

To install only specific features, specify the feature identifiers as a space-separated list.

adksetup /features feature1 feature2

Note
If you specify the /layout option, you cannot use the /features option. You can use the /features option only when the installation behavior is /installpath.

To see a list of the values that you can specify, type adksetup /list .

If you specify a space-separated + argument in addition to one or more feature identifiers, ADK Setup ignores the feature identifiers and installs all features.

Removes from the computer the Windows ADK features that you specify in the /features option. If you do omit that option, ADK Setup removes all Windows ADK features.

Reinstalls all of the Windows ADK features that are already installed on the computer.

Lists the Windows ADK features that are available to install or download.

Displays command-line syntax and help information.

Windows ADK Features

The following table shows the feature identifier for each Windows ADK feature. When you run ADKSetup.exe in a Command Prompt window, you can use the feature identifier as the parameter of the /features option, in order to specify features to install or remove.
