Windows PE (Preinstallation Environment) is a minimal, lightweight version of Windows used for installing, deploying, and troubleshooting other Windows operating systems. It acts as a pre-installation platform, replacing older methods like MS-DOS, and provides a set of tools for tasks like disk partitioning, file recovery, and system imaging.I thought PE was eventually just a windows installer iso for fresh installing a bunch of systems and/or doing over a network?
just googled it... think that's right? nosey now... what do you use it for? normal installer iso not easier?
In my case (I always make things harder being stubborn) yes it probably would have been BUT as I only needed to be able to check the specs pf the PC It (should) have been quicker and easier.I thought PE was eventually just a windows installer iso for fresh installing a bunch of systems and/or doing over a network?

Interesting. I had installed hirons last night and it would not boot. However. I slept in till 1pm and took a few deep breaths this morning.hirens boot cd

I changed each time. It was actually booting but never started the PE even after leaving it 20 mins.remember without the battery it will auto the mainboard to factory settings
you need the battery to alter the settings for a reboot
older boards was based on legacy software so will boot legacy and not uefi
remember you have to change a few settings in bios to boot the usb or even a dvd disk
well it was loading the Hirens and the strip at the bottom of the screen completed but then when the windows flag started it never completed.hirens disk should boot on either
