2. Copy MetaDefender Kiosk Hardened Image

The USB now consists two partitions:

Copy the downloaded MetaDefender Kiosk Hardened image file (install.wim) to the KioskImage partition to finish the flash USB creation.

Step 3: Flashing a device with the bootable Kiosk USB drive

To install MetaDefender Kiosk on a new device by using your newly created Kiosk deployment flash drive, do the following:

1. Boot Into WinPE Environment

1. Plug USB into Kiosk Hardware
2. Restart/Power on the device.

2. Deploy Hardened Image

Following the boot into the WinPE environment, a command prompt window will appear.

Please respond to the prompts in the command window:

1. Select the drive where you want to install the image. Keep in mind that all data on that drive will be permanently erased.
2. Decide whether you want to perform a full-pass wipe. Note that a full-pass wipe will take significantly longer.
3. Choose whether you want to restart the device once the installation is complete.
