In the area of technical support, for many years the dominant "weapon" in our quiver was HirensBootCD.
As late as 2012, when support for version 15.2 ceased, a PE creation by "fans" of the project was released, which included only freeware, instead of the trial professional versions of its predecessor. (introduction to bootable Windows PE recovery discs in an earlier article here: https://iguru.gr/bootable-windows-pe-recovery-disks/ )
Now the scepter of the space has been taken by another bootable tool, WinPE 10-8 Sergei Strelec.
At the moment it is the only project he has updates with support and bug fixing, which contains the latest in professional program versions (testof the period of use).

It can be loaded from a usb formatted with the windy ( https://iguru.gr/ventoy-multiboot-usb-creator-1-0-86/ )
Observation: in tests, the latest version of Strelec appears to be more demanding on hardware in terms of its boot time.
If using it on older systems, select native mode.
