How to start Windows 10 manually?

Question

Windows

I decided to experiment and unpacked the Windows 10 installer and then unpacked the file that contains the Windows 10 files and threw it on a separate partition. Now the question is: is it possible to run this Windows somehow? And if so, how?

Answer 1

I do this option "manually" like this.
0) preferably 2 partitions. 100MB fat32 for the bootloader (uefi) and the rest in NTFS (other partitions if desired) 1 )
using WinNTSetup, I unpack Windows from iso or from install.wim/install.esd to the desired partition.
WinNTSetup can also prescribe the bootloader on a small partition (or via bootice)
3) make / check the activity of the boot partition if the disk is partitioned.
4) you can check that Windows is loaded from winpe through QemuBootTester
, in general, I set 10k remotely even from under winxp. then after the reboot, the user simply sets the initial parameters and sends the team for further work

Answer 2

You need windows boot manager, which is installed in a special section)

Answer 3

Take a flash drive and unpack

Answer 4

No, the last Windows that could just be run from the command line was XP. Vista, Seven and subsequent windows need to be properly "prepared" for launch, which is done by a special bootloader, loading the OS kernel into memory.
