Asking questions is not a problem. I believe you're new to this project, but please be aware that the developers are providing a free service to you. This is not a "simple" project at all, keeping up...

Thank you, Kyhi. I think it must be clear for all now.
I sure hope we haven't lost Yaelede yet. Like I said: it can be "refreshing" to hear from a first time user how and where things are not clear....

That's a valid concern, but you will have to take it from us that the Win10XPE is completely safe to use.
This part from the Win10XPE readme probably explains in best:
""Note on AntiVirus: By its...

Good luck, and never hesitate to ask if you need help.

Wow, I understand you gave up in the end....
Still, you were SO close!! :-)

Maybe we should kindly ask Kyhi to make the download links in the very first post of this thread just a little bit more...

Yaelede, I agree with you that the very first steps have gotten (unnecessarily?) complicated, like where to find the actual files needed and how to extract.
As you are the "perfect" test person,...

Thank you very much for the updated project, @ChrisR!
Thanks to @APT38 and Kyhi as well for all the support.

Great to hear from you, ChrisR, hope you and your family have a great 2022.
Thank you for all your excellent work!

That is great news!!! Thank you for taking the trouble to test.
Now I wonder what LongPanda did to finally fix it!

Yes, thanks, you told me that before, but even when I click on Malok's "Thank" button, I can't click APT38's button.
It's not a big deal, I will just thank them in a separate post :-)

I will now declare my utmost thanks to all the friendly people in this thread. (Like Mike Scott declared bankruptcy in "The Office").
I also declare my disappointment with the TenForums "Thank"...

I have tested Ventoy 1.0.49 on two BIOS systems, both a standard XPE and my own custom PE, and also on a DELL notebook that can boot eiter in UEFI or BIOS, also with XPE and my own PE. Until now the...

There's a new version of Ventoy, that mentions PE in the changelog. I haven't been too active lately (sorry about that), but I will do some testing on a few systems to see if the XPE compatibily has...

Thanks, but it always mentions something like "You have to something something"...
I never understood this strange restriction.

When Ventoy was first released, I just loved it, and already thought of all the ways it could be useful for "our" PE stuff. Back then there wasn't even talk of direct-booting .wim files (.iso first...

OK, maybe I was a bit too harsh...
So I will just say: Be patient, do lots of builds and tests, examine the code, and try to learn, as we all had to do.

Some of your questions were already...

I see the smileys have gone :-)
But seriously: Please just take it easy, I know you've been excited about the projects, but please remember that most of us here are doing this as a hobby, help will...

Thanks again for all your hard work, Kyhi!

To avoid confusion: I wasn't suggesting "implementing Ventoy" in any manner, but only wanted to share that link where LongPanda (Ventoy dev) was discussing a way to make sure drive "Y:" is re-mounted...

Hi ChrisR, nice to see you back here.

Have you tried any recent versions of Ventoy?
What do you think of LongPanda's (Ventoy developer) suggestion for some sort of "Ventoy-compatible" support...

Without retail key, backups only work for 30 days, I believe.

Kyhi, better not directly share the Image for Windows exe, Terabyte have been known for hunting down stuff like...

Kyhi, APT and others: Thank you very much for some very informative posts over the last few days. GREAT to see how open discussion is possible on this forum (compared to ...).
Hopefully APT's...

Yes, as LongPanda has explained, the "hook" he uses for normal Windows ISO files works in most cases. Like you said, this -has- to work as it is one of the key components of the Ventoy system.
For...

Here's LongPanda's answer to my question on how and why the "re-mounting" of the ISO now seems to work with XPE and other PEs:

Looks like some sort of mechanism in the XPE project to support...

...and a happy weekend was had by all.
