Dave,
On WinPE you can simply pull the plug so to
speak, or even literally when shutting down with WinPE, as it is only loaded
in RAM, so nothing would get broke.
It's wiped out on power off.

Randy:
I use Image for Windows, produced by Terabyte.
You get a 30 day trial, then you need to purchase a license, to go on using
the program. I do not think the purchase price is that expensive, probably
about 50 dollars, US.
As far as I know, there are 2 versions of a
Talking Windoes Preinstall Environment (TWPE). One produced by Brian Smart for
Windows 7 and another by someone by the name of Carlos, sorry I do not know
his last name, for Windows 10. Once you boot into either TWPE,
hopefully You should be able to run Macrium Reflect Free, to
restore a previously created image to your system drive, using NVDA to speak
the prompts and menues.
I use Brian Smart's Windows 7 TWPE and the Image for Windows
restore utility, to restore images. I use this TWPE because, I find that
it boots faster, an it definitely shuts down the computer correctly, when you
have finished restoring an image or, when you have finished using the TWPE for
any other reason.
When I have used Carlos's TWPE, I have found that when you shut down the
computer, it occasionally hangs, and you need to press and hold the power
button, until the system switches off.
HTH

Will it run within Win PE?

Which is true of the vast majority of
backup/restore software because the restore process takes place without
Windows itself actually being running, meaning there is no screen reader
support.
Most of my sighted clients have no idea how to
do a restore even if they wanted to, but several have been very, very
thankful indeed that they had a backup that they'd taken on a regular
cycle when they had storage failure (whether HDD or SSD) but had to have
me do the actual restore. It sure as heck beats losing all the data
one acquires over years on most computer systems!
