Essential released PH-1 Windows drivers with ADB

[modifier]

Essential just released a package containing device drivers for Windows 7/8/10 and a reduced copy of ADB.

It can be downloaded here: https://storage.googleapis.com/essential-static/Essential-PH1-WindowsDrivers.exe

Once installed, navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Essential to find the ADB and Phone Drivers directories. The ADB directory contains adb.exe and fastboot.exe. This is far easier than downloading the entire Android SDK just for the ADB components.

The drivers from Essential make it far easier to sideload an OTA or beta package versus using Google's drivers. No more hunting around for a compatible driver!
