When your computer fails to boot Windows 10 properly, you may need a WinPE (Windows Preinstallation Environment) bootable disk to help you repair your Windows. A WinPE bootable disk has more uses, such as to deploy PCs, backup data, recover system files, manage disk partitions and etc. Now this page will show you two ways to create a WinPE bootable USB disk for Windows 10.
If you are in the case where your Windows 10 fails to boot and you want to get/backup the data on your computer via a WinPE bootable disk, you can do this easily with a dedicated third-party tool. iSumsoft Cloner, the powerful Windows cloning tool, can help you automatically create a WinPE bootable USB drive with simple steps.
Step 1: Download and install the iSumsoft Cloner tool on a Window computer.
Step 2: Insert a USB flash disk to the computer and run this tool.
Step 3: Click on Make Boot Disk in the upper right corner of this program. Then select the "Create PE in current system environment" option and click OK.
Step 4: When the Device Option dialog opens, select your USB flash disk and click on Make. When it prompts that your USB flash disk will be formatted, click OK and it will begin creating the WinPE bootable disk.
