Adding .inf drivers using PowerShell, possible?

Are we able to install drivers via their .inf files etc. using a PowerShell cmdlet? When Googling I found, Add-WindowsDriver but I think this one is for an offline Windows image. Does that mean an image that is not currently used on an OS? If not, please teach me how to write the parameters. Thank you!

This PowerShell script will do what you want:

Get-ChildItem "C:\Driver File Location" -Recurse -Filter "*inf" | ForEach-Object { PNPUtil.exe /add-driver $_.FullName /install } 

It can be done using the Install-DeviceDriver cmdlet from the DeviceManagement module. See my answer here for an example.
