# Windows Media Download

```
New-OSDCloudOSWimFile -OSName 'Windows 11 23H2 x64' -OSEdition Pro -OSLanguage en-us -OSActivation Retail
```

This function will reach out and download the appropriate esd file, then build the media sources

Available Parameters:

* \[String] OSName:  Windows Version & Arch
* \[String] OSEdition
* \[String] OSLanguage
* \[String] OSActivation

The command will download the esd file to c:\OSDCloud\OS\\($OSName), and then build the media in c:\OSDCloud\IPU\Media\\($OSName)

First example below is downloading Windows 11 23H2 ARM64.  On this device, I had already downloaded the esd file before, so the function saw it was there, did a SHA1 HASH check, confirmed it was good, and continued to build the media folders and content

Second example is grabbing Windows 11 23H2 x64.

Here you can see the media below:

Then in ConfigMgr, when I import the install.wim for ARM64, it looks pretty good:\

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.osdcloud.com/osdcloud-v1/integration/osdcloud-ipu/windows-media-download.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
