== Issues testing with VMWare/VirtualBox ==
It's important to remember when testing with VMWare/VirtualBox you need to take into account the memory and CPU requirements of the PE you will be testing. WinPE is RAM intensive. Remember that just because you configure a VM with 2 CPU's and 4GB RAM, it doesn't mean that it's available to the VM. These resources are shared with the host, and must be free in order to be used by the VM. Errors such as a bluescreen "System Thread Exception Not Found", or hang on PreShell Configuration are almost always caused by too little RAM or not enough CPU resources. Try increasing the resources and/or closing CPU/RAM intensive applications (Web Browsers, games, video streaming, etc.) on the host. Modern OS such as Win11 require at least 4GB RAM, where with Win10 you could sometimes get away with 2GB.

WinPE built on Win11 require at least 4GB RAM, where with Win10 you could sometimes get away with 2GB. Ramdisk size and the size of your boot.wim file all need to be taken into account when determining memory requirements.
