Hiren's BootCD PE (Preinstallation Environment) is a free comprehensive backup and recovery solution that can assist all desktop and laptop users in quickly, easily, and securely booting their faulty PC and gaining access to their hardware, local storage, and valuable personal data within a live preinstalled Windows 10/11 environment located on a bootable USB drive. 

To facilitate the simplest live boot experience, Win11 OS (updated to the nearly latest public version) and the package also include hundreds and hundreds of hardware accessory drivers, allowing the user to instantly gain control of their PC without having to download online drivers for various IO, network, and storage accessories on their PC. 

While there are numerous other applications and OS distributions that can make bootable USB sticks, Hiren's BootCD PE stands out because it is entirely focused on providing a live OS environment powered by Windows 10 and Windows 11, the OS most familiar to novice PC users. 

Not only that, but the bootable OS comes with a plethora of preinstalled freeware apps that can aid in not only diagnostics and troubleshooting of various issues (many of which are focused on storage and OS issues), but also a diverse range of antivirus software, productivity apps, and even multimedia applications. 

Users will only need to download and burn an ISO file to build the emergency bootable disk (the file is quite large, measuring over 3GB!). The app has no UI or customization options and is delivered completely functional. To transfer data from the ISO package to the USB stick, users will need to use any third-party specialist apps that can operate with bootable ISO archives. To make this procedure easier, the makers of Hiren's BootCD PE created a little application called ISO2USB. You can get this micro-app from the app's official website. 

To launch the utility, restart your computer and select to boot directly from the USB disk. The system will then boot up automatically, and the live Windows 10/Windows 11 desktop will appear in a matter of seconds. From there, customers may use a variety of preconfigured programs that can assist them in getting their local operating system in order, removing viruses, fixing or configuring local storage issues, and accessing or backing up their important personal data. 

Hiren's BootCD PE is completely free and can be used with any recent Windows operating system.
