What have I done!

There’s always WinPE. :wink:

I have used it myself to run Windows-only software[1] from a live Windows session, directly booting from a USB.[2] Like a live Linux ISO, nothing is saved. I’ve even used WinPE to flash the BIOS on laptops and desktops, when the only file provided is an .exe and the BIOS does not have a flash tool. (Thanks, HP. :roll_eyes:)

  1. Not all software will work, since this is not a complete Windows installation. If it’s simple enough and doesn’t require many libraries or dependencies, it’s likely to run fine. ↩︎

  2. You’ll need a separate USB to run software that is not included with the live ISO or to save any files. ↩︎
