WinPE Builder by PassMark® Software - Overview |
Top Next |
WinPE Builder is a free utility for licensed users of BurnInTest Professional and OSForensics which lets users create bootable versions for their licensed software. To run the software on a system without an operating system you need to set up a “Pre-install environment” that allows Microsoft Windows to be booted from a CD/DVD or USB Flash Drive. WinPE Builder was developed to aid users more quickly, efficiently and easily create an WinPE image that can be used to boot a computer system. WinPE Builder is an extremely effective tool, allowing optional packages, drivers, files to be installed as well.
Note: PassMark software does not provide the base WinPE image. The user is responsible for obtaining the any licenses required. You can get in contact with a MS representative, this should be the first step for you to get a legal authorization. WinPE is a product from Microsoft and it is up to the users to review any possible license issues.
