7 | It is inspired by my other project which is Windows PE Basic that is located on [https://github.com/thedoggybrad/WindowsPEBasic/](https://github.com/thedoggybrad/WindowsPEBasic/). 8 | 9 | ## Download Link (391MB ISO File) 10 | [https://github.com/thedoggybrad/WindowsPEBasicEnhanced/releases/download/1.0/WinPEBasicEnhanced.iso](https://github.com/thedoggybrad/WindowsPEBasicEnhanced/releases/download/1.0/WinPEBasicEnhanced.iso) 11 | 12 | ## Minimum System Requirements 13 | •Storage: 400MB of FAT/FAT32/NTFS Bootable Storage
14 | •Memory: 512MB
15 | •CPU: Any 64-bit capable processor
16 | •GPU: None (Just a video output is needed)
17 | •BIOS: Legacy BIOS or UEFI BIOS 18 | 19 | ## Preferred System Configuration (For Optimal Performance) 20 | •Storage: 512MB of NTFS Bootable Storage or higher capacity
21 | •Memory: 1GB or higher
22 | •CPU: A dual-core 64-bit capable processor or better
23 | •GPU: On-board Integrated Graphics or better
24 | •BIOS: Legacy BIOS or UEFI BIOS 25 | 26 | ## Additional Custom Tools 27 | It contains the following set of custom tools, I personally added that are useful for troubleshooting, diagnostic and recovery: 28 |
29 | •cpuz.exe - CPUID CPU-Z
30 | •DiskInfo.exe - Crystal Disk Info
31 | •DiskView.exe - SysInternals DiskView
32 | •explorer.exe - Explorer++ (Not Windows Explorer)
33 | •HWMonitor.exe - CPUID Hardware Monitor
34 | •procexp.exe - SysInternals Process Explorer
35 | •procmon.exe - SysInternals Process Monitor
36 | •RAMMap.exe - SysInternals RAM Map
37 | 38 | ## Tools and Commands from Windows PE 39 | Plus all of the built-in tools and commands from Windows PE that compose of selected Windows NT tools such as Notepad, Registry Editor, Task Manager, SFC, DISM, BCDBOOT, DIR, DISKPART, CHKDSK, MD, CD and more.
40 | Some familar commands from Windows NT such as SHUTDOWN and more are not available (Research about commands and tools available on Windows PE). 41 | 42 | ## Basic Operation 43 | 1.) To Restart your PC, type "exit" on the Command Prompt window and hit ENTER. Shutdown is not supported. 44 |
45 | 2.) The UI is commandline, so to access GUI/Non-GUI apps you need to type the exact application name in the Command Prompt window. For my custom tools, just refer to the ".exe" titles and for built-in Windows PE tools and commands be sure to research or memorize it. 46 | 47 | ## Steps to replicate it yourself 48 | 1.) Download Install the May 2024 Windows ADK and Windows PE add-on from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/get-started/adk-install/.
49 | 2.) Open Deployment and Imaging Tools Environment with Administrator Privileges (Run as Administrator).
50 | 3.) Run these commands: 51 | `copype amd64 c:\winpe` 52 | `Dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:"c:\winpe\media\sources\boot.wim" /index:1 /MountDir:"c:\winpe\mount"`
53 | 4.) Change the wallpaper at c:\winpe\mount\windows\system32\winpe.jpg. Make sure to change the owner from TrustedInstaller to your username before doing so. Use this exact wallpaper https://github.com/thedoggybrad/Windows-11-22H2-Web-Folder/blob/main/Web/Wallpaper/Windows/img19.jpg so that it will look like the same as this project.
54 | 5.) Add all the following apps to the c:\winpe\mount\windows\system32\ and make sure to use the AMD64 (x64) versions of those apps.
55 | •cpuz.exe - CPUID CPU-Z
56 | •DiskInfo.exe - Crystal Disk Info
57 | •DiskView.exe - SysInternals DiskView
58 | •explorer.exe - Explorer++ (Not Windows Explorer)
59 | •HWMonitor.exe - CPUID Hardware Monitor
60 | •procexp.exe - SysInternals Process Explorer
61 | •procmon.exe - SysInternals Process Monitor
62 | •RAMMap.exe - SysInternals RAM Map
63 | Use the same filenames as the following to achieve what this project offers.
64 | 6.) Type the following commands: 65 | `Dism /Unmount-Image /MountDir:c:\winpe\mount /Commit` 66 | `MakeWinPEMedia /ISO c:\winpe c:\winpe\WinPE_custom.iso`
67 | 7.) And you're done... Your generated ISO File is located on c:\winpe\WinPE_custom.iso. You may now use it. 68 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /WindowsPEBasicEnhanced.jpg: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thedoggybrad/WindowsPEBasicEnhanced/8dab3eef472909ead25ad61a510f436453daf529/WindowsPEBasicEnhanced.jpg -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /google9059940f01345bb8.html: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | google-site-verification: google9059940f01345bb8.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /index.html: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | Windows PE Basic Enhanced 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 | 29 | 30 | 31 | 32 | 33 | 34 | Skip to the content. 35 | 36 | 44 | 45 |
