Extract the zip into a new folder. Insert a w10/w11 disc or mount an ISO. Enter basic mode, it will take you through the steps.

#6AFAIK the "Windows Recovery Environment" is actually a stripped-down minimal version of Windows missing most of the normal userland and parts of the kernel, which people have extended and customised in various ways.

The overall design was inspired by the simple text based ui of clockworkmod recovery for android. There are zero dependencies as well.

#8Wow, this is the largest batchfile I've ever seen! And I thought my 200-ish line one from high school was pushing it. Honestly huge respect for having the dedication to go this far with batch. I knew about the pseudo-function-calling features and a little bit of the weird syntax, but just skimming there's a lot of stuff in here I haven't seen before. Usually people saying "X in Y KiB" are doing some crazy linker shenanigans, so this was refreshing.
Also, "Windows To Go" and "Windows To Stay" are really funny feature names.

Not to get TOO far off topic, but you just reminded me of the 300+ line batch file I was using for my BBS back in the early 90s. Lots of errorlevel checks to handle door transitions, Fidonet, etc.
You could get some ridiculously complicated batch files if you really needed the added functionality.

#10Looks cool, but what does this do that the standard Windows Recovery Environment Partition doesnt do?
Maybe situations where the standard recovery env is borked? Was that the case in the recent CrowdStrike debacle?
