Windows 10 Recovery Tools - Bootable Rescue Disk

I'm going to see if it will boot when I just extract it to the USB, instead of using RUFUS(I have never used it), this technique works for my with Windows ISO's.

Attachment 46890

He asks for Donations and states is does not support SysWoW64..
Oh but it does now.. Not that it really matters to the end user - but more to the developer..
One could possibility install programs not included in winPE by running the programs.exe
The issue would be if the windows file the program depends on are included in the winPE..

Do not want to make this a WinPE development thread..
But there are many possibilities with 100's of apps
Link to the thread is in my sig..

I usually just copy and paste the files from ISO to USB..
My USB's are usually set (marked) as Active and formatted Fat32 (for UEFI and Legacy Support)
And I never, ever have used Rufus

It worked great Jimmy! Also @Superfly 's SKP work after a double click without a hitch(I didn't have to direct).

I made a screenshot and used 7Zip to move it to my C: drive so when I got back on line I could post(I didn't feel like setting up my Wifi):

I agree and just finished downloading it......going to burn it soon. :)

No need to burn(unless you're using a DVD) if you're using a thumb drive, just use 7Zip and extract it to USB.

Showkey will pull the wrong (installed) product key for the Host OS
(because it pulls the installed key from current PE OS)

To see the product key for the Off-Line Host OS ( C:\ )
you have to use the "Retrieve key from backup" feature in showkey

The embedded key pulls just fine..

You could of also just saved the screenshot Image to C:\

OK. You've done a really nice job with this. I find it is ALWAYS better to repair Windows with Windows. And it's a portable mini Windows OS that fits in a wallet(for Office stuff people can use Outlook on line in Opera).
