Get the MateBook E 2019 Drivers

1. Extract MateBook_E_2019_OneKey_2.0.0.12.zip, install, and find boot.wim in C:\ProgramData\Huawei\Driver\OneKey Driver. Or you may also download the boot.wim image here.
2. Make a directory named temp in C:\ProgramData\Huawei\Driver\OneKey Driver, which is C:\ProgramData\Huawei\Driver\OneKey Driver\temp.
3. Mount the boot.wim image. Open an elevated command prompt window, and run the following command:

DISM /Mount-Wim /WimFile:"C:\ProgramData\Huawei\Driver\OneKey Driver\boot.wim" /index:1 /MountDir:"C:\ProgramData\Huawei\Driver\OneKey Driver\temp"

4. Copy the directory C:\ProgramData\Huawei\Driver\OneKey Driver\temp\Windows/System32/DriverStore which contains all the matebook drivers we need to C:\ProgramData\Huawei\Driver\OneKey Driver. Now the directory should be C:\ProgramData\Huawei\Driver\OneKey Driver\DriverStore.
5. Unmount the boot.wim image and discard the changes. In the elevated command prompt window, run the following command:

DISM /Unmount-Wim /MountDir:"C:\ProgramData\Huawei\Driver\OneKey Driver\temp" /discard

Now the temp directory should be empty.

Add Drivers to the Windows 11 Installation Image

1. Plugin the Windows 11 installation flash drive. Make it U:\ for example.
2. Mount the boot.wim file from Windows 11. In the elevated command prompt window, run the following command:

DISM /Mount-Wim /WimFile:"U:\sources\boot.wim" /index:1 /MountDir:"C:\ProgramData\Huawei\Driver\OneKey Driver\temp"

3. Add the matebook drivers to the mounted boot.wim image in the last step. In the elevated command prompt window, run the following command:

DISM /Image:"C:\ProgramData\Huawei\Driver\OneKey Driver\temp" /Add-Driver /Driver:"C:\ProgramData\Huawei\Driver\OneKey Driver\DriverStore" /recurse

4. Unmount the boot.wim image and commit the changes. In the elevated command prompt window, run the following command:

DISM /Unmount-Wim /MountDir:"C:\ProgramData\Huawei\Driver\OneKey Driver\temp" /commit

5. Make the same changes to the U:\sources\install.wim image. Make sure to commit the changes.
