The Windows PE 5.0 environment is a minimalist distribution of the Microsoft Windows 8.1 operating system.
This portable distribution allows you to run Windows 8.1 from a CD/DVD or USB drive independently with video, audio and network support.
Among other utilities, you'll find Internet Explorer 11, DirectX 11, and the system repair tool. The integration of the .NET 2.0/3.0/3.5/4.0/4.5 and Visual C++ 8.0/9.0/10.0/11.0 runtimes allows you to run a wide range of portable applications.
It is possible to securely read and write to all volumes used by currently known Microsoft systems. Compatibility is guaranteed for all versions up to Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2, and very likely for future versions as well.
The Windows7-USB-DVD-tool utility automatically transforms any USB flash drive (minimum 1 GB) into a bootable bootable medium, allowing you to have a portable standalone workstation that can run on any compatible computer for technical and/or office purposes.
In practice, this type of tool is mostly used to recover data without dismantling the hardware on faulty systems, prior to a reinstallation.
Tip: To save a lot of time when the volume of data is considerable and thus avoid a long backup/restore, simply move the data into a backup folder, delete the system folders and files, reinstall without reformatting the volume, then put the data back in place.
Note: On EFI/UEFI machines and depending on the default BIOS settings, setting the BOOT to compatibility mode may be necessary.
