I honestly missed the video un which you explained how to build my own WinPE. Now the question that everyone will for sure ask you, even if what you suggest isn’t a freeware, is to give further details, in each category (backup, antivirus, boot, password and so on) what are the programs that you recommend with for each their pros and cons. I think it’s too long for a single video but either you consider it would be useful for your community and your ecosystem which then could even grow, doing a “Netflix like series, with “seasons” and episodes. And the most efficient way to be complete would finally to provide accurate information on your website. I know that it is a lot of work to do. But be aware that we all like so much all your videos that I’m sure all of us will be as patient as it will be necessary if you really commit yourself to be the one who will propose the qui ultimate universal repairing tool. You can even raise funds saying that this work deserves a contribution and for sure you’ll win new subscribers and by the way new gold and platinum members of your community. Are you ready to do that Brian?
@@Britec09 Brian, I follow all what you do here and on your other channel. I could see how your community grew with the time. I’m sure you’ll have lots of views and may even endeavor to partially explain what is relevant to to and include but you may as well sell the complete information, lists, advices and a good ISO to download. I can of course understand that this is a lot of work and this work deserves to be compensated either by RUclips’s economic model or else under subscription. If you look at other channels, what they propose is free because of the views but everyday, more and more channels propose complementary content on other platforms under subscription. That’s the future of RUclips. And that’s the future of added value contents too!
1. Rescue systems of this type boot into a "change-rooted environment", which means the Win PE [or Linux or whatever] boots into memory first, thus taking total control of the computer. This is the BEST way to remove all malware. 2. The more apps you have the greater the "attack" surface for bad hackers. This is because every bit of code has potential vulnerabilities. So as always, you need to update all apps, utilities and programs, especially a recuse environment, because you may use to to fix more than one computer, you if the rescue system IS compromised, you spread the pain and damage. 3. There is cause to have more than one utility for basically the same thing. For example, an individual anti-virus might miss some malware, while another may recognize it. Some anti-malware programs are better at removing malicious code without damage than others. So at the very least, do a "second-opinion" scan if you have had an infection. 4. Win PE, like Linux, does not need the internet for the initial boot-up. So you can do anti-malware scans off-line FIRST. This is very important, and many people do not do this. So make sure whatever your OS is, to have a LOCAL log-in account. Anti-malware programs have to have the highest permissions possible. Which is one reason why you don't download zipped files with password protection unless you are really sure they are safe. Malware writers know that most A/V programs can't access password-protected archive files, which is why they have password protection! :-) 5. Security Video bloggers like the PC Security Channel use virtual machines to test anti-virus scanners against malware downloaded from the internet. Detection and cleaning rates are high, but usually not perfect. So you could have important data being mined [bank details, passwords, etc, etc,while the anti-virus and malware 'duke it out". A really good way to have your identity stolen. People think that they are 100% safe with a virtual machine, but there is always a risk the hypervisor OS may get compromised. 6. The best system out there is CUBES [a system based on Linux, but even their own website modestly claims it is only 'relatively secure]. And CUBES is a real pain to use, which means it probably is the safest environment around. You can have ease of use, or security, but not both. If you have a server/client virtualization system, be VERY careful with networking. 7. There are some malware programs out there that are not OS specific. That is, they can infect Linux/Unix, Microsoft, Apple, Android, etc. They are usually web or script-based attacks, because every OS has the capability to connect over the internet. 8. ESet is a fine program, one of the best A/V's out there. 9. If you don't now EXACTLY what you are doing, don't do it. 10. Computer and internet security is hard work. Even top experts can get hacked, so be careful out there. Stay informed, and up to date.
Wow another great video 👍As a PC Tech I use some of these tools, like Hirens Boot PE, or Sergei Strelec PE Is.. I also created my own ventoy stick with some ISO file I need. Some of the are just grabbed from MediCat. I am also using Portable Apps as well for my daily work. Thumbs Up and Greetings from Germany ❤
Hiren's Boot CD PE is enough for me, as it's been around for a long time. Rufus is another bootable USB I have as well. I'll create one from Ventoy if I decide to switch over to Linux. Thank you very much Brian for this video.
Good tools to help others. I have Hirens Boot cd PE. Personally I use Aomei Backupper Standard and takes system backups. Personal files is backed up i another way becauce it is on another drive.
It would be helpful on these kinds of video's if you would list the actual name and/or source location. Simply saying the name doesn't always work. You could also list them in the comments section on top of all your other stuff .....
I would only recommend Hiren's boot, but overall I don't like WinPE. A self-made full win - made with Ntlite - was for me the best solution in the end. I also bought that win for a few bucks. Putting all the necessary tools on it, such as Win Defender, is possible, and it can also be updated. Furthermore, it is crucial to have a good backup tool like RTT (R-Drive Image) and the appropriate hardware. Nevertheless, thx for your video, sir.
I use Parted Magic. Does everything i need it to do. However i use an older version. I don't like the newer versions of Parted Magic with the XFCE desktop on it. To heavy for a boot disk when compared to how well the older LXDE version worked. My hardware is older so the older version still works for me. But people with newer hardware will want the newer versions of course.
I would 100% agree with you that many of these are overloaded with the applications that do the same function. However, one of the great things about this is you can try different things to see which one works for you; then when building your own Windows PE, you can only put on what you know works best for you or that you particularly like.
@@Britec09 I understand your point. I still contend, that I get an ISO with everything, or go hunting on the web and wait for you to see a comment and maybe make a video or another less adept content creator makes a useless video in your stead. I’ll take 20 to play with, then see what one or two I like and want to use.
Hbcd pe has boot issues with decade old PCs which worked fine with 1.04. Sergei strelec released July update which still works. I don't think ventoy is a USB boot drive it's multi ISO or any images boot
Hello, thanks for the video. I have two requests for you, First will be how can we verify our Windows is a genuine and not a bootleg, Second is I just discovered a thing called multibootable USB stick which sounds much better option than getting multiple sticks for different OS, I miserably failed on Ventoy but succeeded using Easy2Boot, but I I don't know how can I use this to use it as a recovery media incase something goes wrong while dual booting.
Nice vid Bri. Two things, 1) if you make a pure fat32 winpe usb stick (not Ventoy) you will have no problems with secure boot on any system ( same if using Easy2boot and . imgptn23 image files). 2) you can add pestartup to your usb stick or even a multiboot usb stick. You can run it from any winpe and it will then automatically add drivers, desktop shortcuts to any apps on the usb stick and change the wallpaper of whatever winpe you are running. You can configure it to run portableapps too, and so all the apps are available from any winpe iso or wim file that you have on your Ventoy or e2b multiboot usb drive.

Hello I hope you respond I just did the windows 11 utilman.exe for o get my password but I can’t change when I type ren utilman.exe cmd.exe it says it’s not found
I have multiple flash drives with various Linux ISOs and repair ISOs, installed under Ventoy. "Multiple" for redundancy. To be honest though, if I encounter problems, I am more inclined to adopt the scorched earth approach of reinstalling. I derive pleasure from setting up a clean install, and tweaking it. GEEKSЯUS

I use a Sergei Strelec WinPE loaded with different types of softwares but do the same job. But eventually I get used to it since it gets the job done.
Thanks Brian I might just make a Hirens boot USB as that looks to be what I need should I crash the machines.
Will come in handy

How I can convert my current windows os installation to WintoGo (Portable) ?😢
Made a video showing that wintogo has been discontinued by Microsoft, still use RUFUS
I am unable to download PhoenixPE as my antivirus keeps blocking the download (Norton 360). I need to disable my antivirus
This would've all been useful 2 years ago for me.
hi i watch all your videos .. but im not smart enough to do all this
Even the original Hirens WinPE seems bloated!
Hello I hope you respond I just did the windows 11 utilman.exe for o get my password but I can’t change when I type ren utilman.exe cmd.exe it says it’s not found
Some Anti-Virus programs DO NOT like Medicat.
Because of the portable apps
@@Britec09 No, it's really the medicat.exe that's often infected. Plz, stay away from it, do not recommend it.
