Updated: 09/15/2017 by Computer Hope
Short for Windows Pre-install Environment, WinPE or Windows PE is a limited Win32 or Win64 operating system that helps boot a computer with no operating system. Windows PE gives the computer NTFS (NTFS file system), network, script, and 32-bit or 64-bit driver support. A bootable Windows PE drive or disc can be created by downloading and installing WAIK (Windows Automated Installation Kit).
