1. Backup/Restore

It's useful to backup the shipped Windows 10 Home.

First: WinPE: Create USB bootable drive

Create bootable WinPE media

*NOTE* BT3 PRO II supports UEFI boot only, the USB disk must formated as FAT32, see detail in  this article.

Second: Do the backup/Restore
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us ... l-flash-update--ffu
Capture and apply Windows Full Flash Update (FFU) images

*NOTE*
When boot from WinPE, the internal disk sometimes detected as "Disk 0", sometimes detected as "Disk 1".
Check this with diskpart before "capture-ffu"/"apply-ffu"


2. Installation
