Hiren's BootCD PE is a pre-built Windows PE environment that comes with a wide range of repair tools, making it much simpler than building your own WinPE.

It comes with a complete set of pre-installed recovery tools, so you don’t need to configure anything manually.

First, Windows PE ISO download.

Next, download the other tools, insert a USB flash drive and open it. Under ‘Boot selection’, click ‘SELECT’ and choose the Hiren’s ISO file you Windows PE ISO download. Click ‘START’, confirm the warning message, and wait for the process to complete.

Once the USB is ready, insert it into the affected computer and restart it.

During boot-up, repeatedly press F12, then select the USB drive from the boot menu.

The software will load and present you with a full menu of repair tools.

It cannot modify the system without booting from the USB, so it is only suitable for users familiar with bootable media.

If you do not wish to use other WinPE build tools, you can try this method. It is a ready-to-use solution; you simply need to follow the steps carefully.
