Well, I just ordered a new laptop - the Dell Inspiron 15 7000 (7548) ... i7 5500u , 8gb ddr3, intel ac 7260 dual band.
I use an Acronis WinPE USB drive to deploy/create images on my computer, and normally I have an ethernet cable connected which allows me to save/get the images on my 1TB drive in my desktop PC.
This laptop doesn't come with an ethernet cable.
My questions are the following
1) Can I use a USB 3.0 -> Gigabit ethernet adaptor (specifically this one Buy the StarTech USB to Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter at TigerDirect.ca) and it will work plug and play just like a regular ethernet plug? Or will it require some sort of driver that I can't use in WinPE.
2) Is there a way to just get the on board wifi card to work on WinPE?
3) Can I use a USB WiFi adaptor instead if the former 2 options don't work?
Thanks for the help
The WinPE is the one based off of Windows 8.1 so the latest version
