# Configure operating system

The Configure Operating System step currently performs one task: It optionally can be configured to import the root certificates that were included in the Windows PE boot image to the new OS.  This could be necessary if the new OS is not yet managed or joined to a service that can automatically deploy these root certs to the device.

Note that this step also ensures that the OSDTargetSystemDrive task sequence variable is set to "C:" for the new operating system.  (The Format disk step initially sets this to "S:".)

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://documentation.2pintsoftware.com/deployr/1.2/reference/step-definitions/configure-operating-system.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
