## Why is this a thing? Where does it download drivers from?
The whole reason behind me creating this script is Windows **STILL** not including Apple's devices drivers

The whole reason behind me creating this script is Windows **STILL** not including Apple's drivers
by default, making their installation a burden for every Apple user which needs to do all of this just to use their devices:
- Download iTunes and iCloud
- Enable Windows Update
- Wait for all the updates to finish and hope for Windows to *eventually* pull Apple drivers **when needed**
Since Googling doesn't help with the issue, as any forum returns strange ways to pull such drivers (and many of those are outdated)

This'd make life easier for everyone who'd just want to use their phone as hotspot *and not install every hunch of Apple software just to have some internet*.
The script pulls drivers from [Microsoft's Update Catalog](https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Home.aspx), which you can pretty much browse yourself to look for Apple's stuff.

Last but not least, administrator is obviously only needed **in order to install drivers**. All it does is **installing the .inf files**
inside such updates, which you could pretty much do yourself by right-clicking those.

## Can I install the script on an offline machine?
