HP has a WinPE64-2.10 tool that automates this process, but I failed to replicate it with the Windows ADK. I struggled with this for many hours, and while I could create the bootable Windows PE (v10, v8, & v2.1) USBs, I could never successfully run the Wndmifit64.exe application in that environment.

According to the Step-by-Step Guide, the next step is to create a Windows PE USB disk.

I have attached that NbDmiFit-2.10.zip file to this post in case the original disappears. Version 2.10 is the most current (as of sometime in 2016).
