Custom Windows 10 Boot Key?

[Redrooster]

Could you put the necessary GPU and chipset drivers on a Windows 10 boot key?

 

I know it already comes with a basic version of crucial drivers, but could you mod it to where it installs the most up-to-date drivers?

Absolutely, it's called slipstreaming a gold image or release build of Windows.

I haven't used it for a while, but this program would let you do that, and a lot of other customization's.

It was free before, but now it looks like it is pay.

 

You can inject drivers to the .wim using Microsoft tools as well.

Yes. If it's for a single system I wouldn't bother, but it can be done.

However, some driver installers also include control panel applets and such which may not be installed when adding the driver to the Windows install image as they're separate from the actual driver.
