    How do I access shared folder in network?


    How do I access shared folder from another computer while I am currently booted into WINPE in this one?

    It is quite easy.

    WinPE should initialize networking by default, but to be sure, run command wpeinit (#1 in screenshot). Enter the following command to assign a drive letter for a network share (#2):

    net use * \\PC-Name\NetworkShare

    Enter user credentials when prompted. In this sample case, my shared folder Deployment on computer AGM-W10PRO03 was assigned drive letter Z: (#3).

    I can now use the share as drive Z:.

    Hi Thankyou for replying. I still can not connect, do I have to create a homegroup or something? How do I enable internet access in WINPE? I tried the command you gave. It says "Network can not be reached". I am new to this

    Of course, the computer booted to WinPE must have network access. As WinPE does not support wireless (WiFi), the only option is to use Ethernet (LAN) connection.

    There are several unofficial methods to add wireless support to WinPE. See fo instance this article: Build a WinPE with wireless support - MSEndpointMgr
