wimb Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 (edited) In case booting from USB with PE is not available we can use Windows Shift Restart to arrive in Windows Recovery Environment. In WinRE blue menu Advanced Options we can use Command > notepad > File Open > Run as Admin WinNTSetup_x64.exe and Select Captured WIM file of Windows 10/11 x64 and use Setup for Apply in VHD e.g. Inject New System in VHD next to existing Windows.

Should you add the Offline Update MiniTool to the PE_Tools launcher? Some end users may find it really useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the Link and I think it is certainly an interesting application that can be quite useful. The wumt_x64.exe size is 14.3 MB and makes it less suitable to integrate it in PE_Tools, but we can use it as a standalone app. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pioj Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I got compressed under 4 MB by means of UPX and seems to run fine. But I agree, it may not be as suitable as the rest of the tools... Thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
