    Angry Specify location of WAIK/ADK

    I have downloaded WAIK/ADK. But the path on my Windows 10 X86 cannot be found. Can you help?

    In Windows x86, there is no system folder "Program Files (x86)". The path will be "C:\Program Files\Windows Kits\10", probably.

    and more
    "Starting with Windows 10, version 1809, Windows Preinstallation Environment (PE) is released separately from the Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK)." https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...kits-and-tools

    Fireworker,
    thanks for reply -
    so, to clarify - do we need BOTH downloads, and do an INSTALL of both downloads? then, when building the media, do we jus t point to the ADK kit folder, and paragon will automatically detect that we have the PE environment?

    I know, default is "Use ADK" - whysoever. On the other hand, default is you don't need the ADK. ADK is only needed if the Rescue Env fails to create without i. e. something's wrong with your built-in Windows Recovery Tool.
