'''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 a 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 was first introduced in [[Windows XP]] as a replacement for [[MS-DOS]]-based boot disks and has since 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.
