Q: What’s Windows RE and WinReTools?
Chicagotech.net: Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) is a recovery environment that can repair common causes of unbootable operating systems. By default, if you install Windows using media created from Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer (ICD), you’ll get a dedicated WinRE tools partition on both UEFI and BIOS-based devices, located immediately after the Windows partition. This allows Windows to replace and resize the partition as needed.
WinRE includes these tools:
- Automatic repair and other troubleshooting tools.
- Push-button reset, which enables your users to repair their own PCs quickly while preserving their data and important customizations, without having to back up data in advance.
- System image recovery which restores the entire hard drive.
