# Provision Manager

> Install Windows on bare-metal x64 and ARM64 devices from the cloud via PXE or USB, with automatic driver management.

Product: CapaOne — a separate CapaSystems product; do not apply this page to any other.

Provision Manager installs Windows on bare-metal devices and reinstalls failed devices, using only
an internet connection. Both **x64** and **ARM64** devices are supported. There are no local
deployment servers or images to maintain: the device boots into the CapaOne provisioning
environment, and everything else is delivered from the cloud.

You can boot a device into the provisioning environment in two ways:

- **[PXE network boot](/capaone/provision-manager/provisioning-points/)** — start a temporary PXE
  server on any managed Windows endpoint on the same subnet as the devices you want to provision.
- **[USB key](/capaone/provision-manager/usb-key-deployment/)** — create a bootable USB key for
  devices where network boot is not available.

After boot, the device shows a QR code. You scan it with a phone, sign in to CapaOne, and assign a
provisioning template. Installation then runs unattended.

## How a deployment is defined

| Component | What it controls |
|-----------|------------------|
| [Provisioning template](/capaone/provision-manager/provisioning-templates/) | The Windows image (architecture, version, release, edition, language), installation settings, and scripts to run during provisioning. |
| Enrollment configuration | How the device is set up in CapaOne after the operating system is installed. Each template is linked to an enrollment configuration. |
| [Provisioning point](/capaone/provision-manager/provisioning-points/) or [USB key](/capaone/provision-manager/usb-key-deployment/) | How the target device boots into the provisioning environment. |

The same template works across device models — drivers are resolved per device, so you don't
maintain a separate image per hardware model.

## Drivers

During deployment, Provision Manager automatically installs manufacturer-certified driver packages
matched to the device's hardware model. Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Microsoft devices are supported.
Driver management continues after deployment: the **Drivers** tab tracks and rolls out driver
updates across your fleet, and the **Dashboard** tab shows driver compliance per model.
