prepare it as follows.

9.1.2.3 Adding Acronis Plug-in to WinPE
To add Acronis Plug-in to WinPE ISO:
1. When adding the plug-in to the existing WinPE ISO, unpack all files of your WinPE ISO to a
separate folder on the hard disk.
2. Start the Bootable Media Builder either from the management console, by selecting Tools >
Create Bootable Media, or as a separate component.
3. If Agent for Windows is not installed on the machine, specify the license key or the license server
with licenses. The licenses will not get assigned or reassigned. They determine which
functionality to enable for the created media. Without a license, you can create media only for
recovery from the cloud storage.
If Agent for Windows is installed on the machine, the media inherits its functionality.
4. Select Bootable media type: Windows PE.
When creating a new PE ISO:

Select Create WinPE automatically.

[Optional] To create a 64-bit bootable media, select the Create x64 media check box, if
available. A 64-bit media is required to boot a machine that uses Unified Extensible Firmware
Interface (UEFI).

The software runs the appropriate script and proceeds to the next window.
When adding the plug-in to the existing PE ISO:

Select Use WinPE files located in the folder I specify.

Specify path to the folder where the WinPE files are located.
