But did you know that Windows 7 is installed from under the PE version of itself (minwin), and already at the installation stage it can run almost any software:
There is actually an almost full-fledged Windows, naturally without a shell explorer (which doesn’t interfere with running that something else, for example TC, as in my case). Naturally, there is no multimedia and the Internet, but, surprisingly, some specific features of Win 7 work there - for example, docking windows when dragging and dropping.
What is the coolest - while all the drives (including USB) are clearly visible. Those. The Win 7 installation disk can also be used as a recovery disk, in case something is dead, they did not manage to get bogged down, as always, and there is no normal bootable PE disk at hand.
Another positive point is that you can monitor the process of copying Win 7 files in real time.
Actually, to take advantage of all this, you need to press Shift + F10 in the first stages of the installation, a full console will appear, from which everything else is launched.
