'''Windows Preinstallation Environment''', often shortened to '''WinPE''' or '''Windows PE''', is a minimal version of Windows typically used for system deployment or recovery. It is configured in such way that changes made to the environment do not persist across reboots, which makes it possible to boot it from read-only media such as CD-ROM discs or across the network. It has been introduced with [[Windows XP]] as a replacement for [[MS-DOS]]-based boot disks. Since then, it has been adopted for the [[Windows Setup|setup]] and the [[Windows Recovery Environment|recovery environment]] starting with [[Windows Vista]]. | '''Windows Preinstallation Environment''', often shortened to '''WinPE''' or '''Windows PE''', is a minimal version of Windows typically used for system deployment or recovery.
