Hi Tom,
Win PE is made by Microsoft, the PE stands for
Preinstallation Environment.
That is what people are booting up to on a Windows
installation disk for setting up Windows for the first time, or to boot up to
for system repairs.
Microsoft offers it for people to download and use
by itself and to customize.
A Blind guy named Carlos, who passed away some time
back, made one with audio drivers and NVDA on boot-up and lots of
utilities.
So when you boot up, you are on a desktop
environment, only it is not your windows, WinPE is loaded into your computer's
RAM, and your C-Drive is your system, but it is just there, as if you had pulled
your hard drive and plugged it in as a second drive.
So you have full access to all the drive and system
files.
You can get on-line and listen to audio in the Win
PE environment, or you can do system repairs, or copy your hard
drive.
You aren't running your windows, so there is no
issue of windows squawking about this or that file is in use.
It has 7Zip on it,so you can use that to zip up
your HD, or use one of the image utilities on the CD.
It doesn't have eMail installed, but other than
that, and the fact that changes won't be on it when you reboot it, it is like
free windows.

I need some clarification here:
What is WinPE?
And, isn’t 7zip for Windows 7?
I’m using Windows 10 here.

Tom, If you boot to Win PE, you can use 7Zip to zip up your HD and unzip it if you need to at a later time. Also, when you do this, you can delete two system files that are temp files, and will save you the amount of twice your RAM. So if you have 4GB of RAM, you can save 8GB by deleting pagefile.sys and hiberfil.sys before zipping up your HD, and windows will recreate those two files on boot-up. They are just temp files Windows uses as virtual memory.

Hello.
I know this has been addressed before, but could someone suggest an accessible system backup image program that is easy to use independently, and that works well with Jaws?
I routinely back up all my files, but would like to be able to back up my complete hard drive if possible.
Until now, I’ve always understood that these backup image programs have accessibility issues at certain points, but perhaps I’m wrong.
