Add driver and supplemental content to your package
Adding a driver package
For device submissions, the driver(s) being used must be added. The purpose of adding the driver accomplishes two objectives, if the submission passes:
The driver(s) called the Driver Package are catalog-signed and returned. These are now the certified set of drivers.
The driver package can be posted on Windows Update, for broad distribution (as applicable).
Some device submissions (for example, devices which are certified for Server systems) also require the debug symbols to be attached.
These requirements are explicitly called out in documentation. Unless specifically stated, it is not necessary to submit driver symbols.

Adding supplemental content
Depending on the Device or System to be certified, additional information may be required. For example, devices being certified for SERVER systems must include the Static Driver Verifier (SDV) logs.
