wimboot is a boot loader for Windows Imaging Format
.wim files. It enables you to boot into a Windows PE
(WinPE) deployment or recovery environment.
You can use wimboot with iPXE to boot Windows PE via
HTTP. With a Gigabit Ethernet network, a typical WinPE image
should download in just a few seconds.
This animation shows an HTTP network boot into the Windows 10 installer. The total elapsed time from power on to reaching the Windows installer screen is 17 seconds.
wimboot can download images at the full speed supported by your
network, since it can use HTTP rather than TFTP.
wimboot works directly with .wim image files; there is no need to
wrap your .wim into an ISO or FAT filesystem image.
wimboot allows you to use a single configuration and set of files to
boot under both BIOS and UEFI environments.
