Acronis WinPE Boot media
I managed to create an Acronis WinPE USB boot stick on my Windows 7 machine but I need to know how to customize it for programs and drivers. Right now it is no more useful than the simple basic Acronis rescue media. The only difference is I get a Windows Splash Screen when it starts up. It automatically runs a script in a DOS window that loads the Acronis program but the desktop has no common Windows features. There is no Start Menu button or any other programs common to Windows 7 available? Is this normal or am I doing something wrong here? I expected the WinPE rescue media to contain some basic windows features and programs! Can I add these latter myself and if so where can I find some good information on how to do this? I need something basic here as I'm not a programmer or a highly technical guy. I can't find anything in the Acronis help files about this issue. In creating the WinPE boot media the documentation said I first had to load either Windows ADK 5, 6, or 10 (64 bit) to successfully create the Acronis WinPE boot media. Well I couldn't find any ADK 5 or 6 on the microsoft website and it said the 10 version was for machines running Windows 10 only. First I tried using something I found called AIK for windows 7 but this didn't work. Then I read someone suggesting you need to use ADK 8.1 in the forums and it would work with Windows 7 so I tried that using the link they provided. It seemed to work and allowed me to create this Acronis WinPE boot stick successfully. It was confusing because I was assuming that ADK 8 was only for Windows 8 and ADK 10 is only for Windows 10. I'm still not sure I'm using the correct ADK version for my Windows 7 (32bit) operating system. Anyway, I'd sure like to know if I'm doing this correctly and how to customize the Acronis WinPE USB boot stick so I can add my own Windows programs, start menu and drivers. Thanks for any help here.
