Overview of WinPE (Windows Pre-installation Environment)

Windows PE (Microsoft Windows Pre-installation Environment) is a minimal Windows system that provides limited services based on the Windows kernels. It also provides the minimal set of features required to run Windows Setup, access and install operating systems from the network, script basic repetitive tasks, and validate hardware.

As WinPE does not require a hard drive to boot, and it can run solely from a CD, DVD, or USB drive, WinPE plays an important role for data recovery and system maintenance purposes.

The Windows PE helps the IT professionals execute the following tasks in Windows desktops and Servers machines:

  • Automation

The deployment process becomes more streamlined because your administrators are able to automate the process by using the Windows PE platform and toolsets.

  • Toolsets

The Windows PE is able to run multiple tools at the same time using the built-in multithreading and multitasking support. This capability saves both time and resources that would otherwise be required to validate and test the hardware and software images.

  • Deployment

Windows PE provides the ability to boot from a variety of media types, including USB Flash Drive (UFD), DVD, CD, and the network, using the PXE remote-boot ROMs and Remote Install servers.

Using the Windows PE will make your IT professionals' deployment and recovery efforts less time-consuming and more productive.

EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard with Bootable Media with its created bootable media supports data recovery on Windows 10/8.1/8/7/Vista/XP and even Windows Server 2008/2012/2016/2019.
