# General
## Can I use Winbuilder to build PhoenixPE?
No. Winbuilder is no longer developed an contains numerous bugs that have not been fixed, some of which are critical. Winbuilder bugs aside PhoenixPE also makes use of PEBakery exclusive features and additional commands that are not present in Winbuilder.

## Is PhoenixPE a clone/fork of Win10PE_SE/Win10XPE/ETC...
No. PhoenixPE development started around 2014 as a Winbuilder project and was originally envisioned as a replacement for the Win10PE_SE project, which had become bloated and hard to maintain. In 2016 PhoenixPE was re-written from the ground up for use with the PEBakery engine, providing me with the challenge of coding a project from scratch without Winbuilder bug workarounds or resorting to messy .cmd stuff. It also assisted greatly in testing and documentation during PEBakery development. Win10XPE was released in March of 2018.
