Ideally, it should be similar to your operating system as this ensures that Network, Storage Controller, and USB drivers will be automatically copied into the Rescue Media. ![]() You’ll also need to choose the appropriate version of WinPE. When you create your Rescue Media based on WinPE, you’ll need to download additional components from the WADK/WAIK from Microsoft’s servers. You’ll notice this difference when using the Windows PE 3.1 option while choosing your base WIM. Prior to Windows 8, the Windows ADK was named the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK). It’s included as part of the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (WADK or ADK), which is a set of tools created by Microsoft to help users troubleshoot and deploy Windows installations.

But that doesn’t mean it’s always the right option. Typically, we’d advise most users to use WinRE - it doesn’t require any additional downloads for driver support, and it also supports wi-fi connectivity. Unfortunately, like many technical queries, there’s no straightforward answer: ultimately, it depends.
