1. Mount or Extract your Win10/Win11 ISO to a location of your choice. If you don’t have a Win10 ISO you may use the links on the 'Source Config' script to download the most recent version. Be sure to check the [Compatible Source List](https://github.com/PhoenixPE/PhoenixPE/wiki/Source-Compatibility) to make sure your ISO is supported.

## Source Config
### Configuring the Source Image
PhoenixPE can be configured to build using either Boot.wim or WinRE.wim as a base. Each as advantages and disadvantages.
#### Boot.wim ####
Boot.wim is the image used by the Windows setup/installer and includes a basic WinPE environment.
Because Boot.wim is designed to be a lightweight setup environment it does not contain integrated wireless networking or Windows recovery tools by default. PhoenixPE adds support for wireless networking, and other features by coping the required files and registry entries from install.wim; the same method used by legacy projects such as VistaPE, Win7PE, and Win10PE. This method produces an environment very similar to WinRE.
#### WinRE.wim (Default) ####
WinRE.wim is the Windows Recovery Environment that ships with Windows and is used for diagnostic and troubleshooting. It includes additional packages such as integrated wireless networking support, and the Windows recovery tools.
Beginning with Windows release 20H2, WinRE.wim is not always updated to the latest version and contains binaries and registry entries that are incompatible with the newer binaries present in install.wim. This can cause stability issues or in worst case, BSOD, black screen on boot, etc. In these situations you must build the project using Boot.wim as the base image.
