    Is it legal to select "Pro" if the user has no "Pro" license key?
    Its not an operating system though its very full. The changes you make after booting in the ISO are not persistent, They will be reverse on next boot as far as ISO registry is concerned.
    One need not activate an PE / RE. No License required. So, fully legal.

    Thanks & Regards. ...

    Go into "Sources" and Extract the Boot.wim
    To look for Your Portable Programs

    Also why is the ISO on the ROOT of that Drive ????

    You seem to be Building to USB and then using Custom Folder to include your Portable Apps...
    Using the Custom Folder puts your Portable Apps into Boot.wim (RAM)

    If you want your Portable Apps on USB - Use the Folder on the "Create ISO" Interface
    Open that Folder - create a "MyApps" folder - copy your Apps into that folder
    Enable the checkbox and then make a NEW Build...

    Note: You also have some Portable Apps in your set of programs that have already been scripted in Win10XPE..

    The New ISO should now contain "Programs" & "MyApps" folders..
    "Programs" should contain Apps from Win10XPE
    "MyApps" should contain your Portable Apps
    Kyhi thank you very much it seems it turned out.


    My applications now appear inside my usb drive, in the my apps folder.


    The first issue was resolved thanks to you for your patience, work and willingness to help.

    COPY the CONTENTS of the Mounted ISO to a FAT32 Formatted USB Stick
    Do NOT Use Rufus....

    How can I set up a PPPoE connection? I cannot find PPPoE.
    How can I add a program such as Rufus?
    I see no "Select" button after clicking on “Open Custom Folder” under “Add Your Custom Folder”.

    Friends,
    Glad to see the things working.

    How can I set up a PPPoE connection? I cannot find PPPoE.
    How can I add a program such as Rufus?
    I see no "Select" button after clicking on “Open Custom Folder” under “Add Your Custom Folder”.
    @Matthew Wai :

    1. There is already an app for network configurations : PENetwork ( included by default ). One can launch it from the ISO desktop & make configurations.
    If not satisfied, you can check the boxes for Switch To Admin & Network Additions in the Build Core section.
    There are also other Network related apps, you can add them from the Apps > Network section

    2. Win10XPE - How To Quick Start Guide
    (( There is a Utilities section in the WinBuilder. I use good portable programs to make / add my plugins / apps to the ISO using the Utility : XPE Packed Plugin Creator.
    This section helps me out : Create Portable App Packed Plugins ))

    3. There is no 'Select' option. You have to click 'Open Custom Folder' & manually copy the folder(s) to this folder. This folder lands on X: Boot ( RAM )
    One more custom folder option is there in Create ISO section > Open ISO Root Folders This folder lands on Y: ( Pen Drive )
    Though adding portable apps 2 ( above ) is easy, one can directly add portable program folders to one of these folders & directly launch it from there while booted into the ISO.

    Thanks & Regards. ...

    This folder lands on
    Y: ( Pen Drive )
    What do you mean by "lands on"? "is located in"? Will the first folder be saved to the RAM? I will burn the ISO onto a DVD rather than a pen drive, so where will the second folder be saved?
    The DVD drive is neither X: nor Y: because I will burn it on Linux (the host OS) rather than Windows (the guest OS) .

    Yes, I mean to say is located in.
    It's more of a practical thing than theory. When you are booted in the DVD, You will see 3 drives / partitions related to the ISO. B: RAMDisk , X: BOOT ( RAM ) & Y: ( Pen drive or DVD ).
    The real disk is Y : Only. The RamDisk & X:, are a sort of Virtual Disks allocated in RAM.

    Here in this project : We may see the RAMDisk is allotted around 1.4 GB RAM by default & is intended to be used for Temp directory. Though it can be put off in the Build Core section.
    X: is by default allocated 1 GB of Ram but It can be minimized to 512 MB or maximized to 2 GB as WinPE Cache Threshold.
    Y: Represents the boot device : Pen drive or DVD & is of same size as of the boot device.

    The reason we use a USB stick or We use Memory (RAM)
    Is because Both are writable Media...
    using a CD / DVD is Not Considered Writable Media

    If a program needs to write certain files (settings or data) into it's program folder - it will not be able to if that Program Folder is on CD or DVD - so we do not recommend the use of CD/DVD's as Y:\ Drive

    If you select on -> Build Core> Main Interface> Run ALL Programs From RAM
    Then you can use a CD/DVD as all programs will load into System Memory

    Keeping in mind the amount of System Memory Required to Boot The Rescue Media
    As You Add Programs = More System Memory Is Required

    Thus One advantage of using USB Y:\ Drive = Requires Less System Memory as Programs Run From USB
