It's a WinPE image (Windows Pre-install Environment) that runs in memory.

'Can I install Mini Windows 10 as my main OS?' 'Can I add or swap out the PortableApps with different ones?'Ībsolutely, I encourage it! Please feel free to modify MediCat to YOUR individual needs! Extract the files and folders to the root of the USB drive. Open MediCat's first zip.001 file with 7-zip. 'How do I make this for a 32GB USB stick?' So if you update them, they will show up updated in Mini Windows 10 as well. These are the same exact apps that get loaded within Mini Windows 10. Yes, just mount the MediCat USB, and open Start.exe to launch the platform.

MediCat USB is made with modern 64-bit computers in mind.Ĭan I run the PortableApps on my current PC without booting up MediCat?' So I did what I could to spruce things up. I didn't want it to come across as too technical-looking, or confusing. I wanted something elegant, but not too distracting. My overall goal of this project is to continue where Hiren's Boot CD/DVD left off in 2012 Provide a simplified menu system that's completely overloaded with useful PC tools, be easy to navigate, and remain aesthetically pleasing to technicians. Now the project has outgrown DVD-R media, and is known as MediCat USB. I had a stable home and job so I figured, 'why not?'. The first public release wasn't until February 2nd, 2014. I kept working on it and kept it updated whenever I needed to, but never thought about releasing it. So I created a bootable ISO called MediCat DVD in early 2012. So I made a bootable DVD variety, for those finicky computers that refuse to (or can't) boot from USB. Sometimes the BIOS just doesn't support bootable USB sticks for whatever reason, even when set to Legacy Boot in the BIOS settings. However, some older hardware (and picky computers) wouldn't boot from them, rendering them useless. That got me making multiboot USB sticks, and all was great. Until I found YUMI, which allowed me to customize my own.

As a seasoned PC Technician (A+ Certified by CompTIA) in the field for 16 years, I could never find a software toolbox that could fit my personal needs. I run a PC repair service out of my home called Reset Computers.
