Default Windows PE Images
There's a plenty of useful documentation available all over the Internet speaking about how you create your own custom [[Windows PE]] image and tweak it. But different products already contain five pre-built Windows PE images that you can easily re-use if they are sufficient for your purposes. These images are a little bit different from one another so it makes sense to know what's inside each of them. Of course, you could take one of these default images as a starting point and further customise it as you need.
