 +March 2023:   The tools I use most of the time now are:   [[https://gsmartcontrol.sourceforge.io/home/|Gsmartcontrol]], [[https://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free|Treesize free]] and [[https://sergeistrelec.name/|Sergei
 +Strelec
 +WinPE iso]].
 +
 +I have all my tools installed on a thumb drive configured with [[https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html|Ventoy]].

 +Today I finally tried the [[https://sergeistrelec.name/|Sergei
 +Strelec
 +WinPE iso]].  [[https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/sergei_strelecs_winpe.html|I downloaded it from MajorGeeks]]

 +WinPE iso]] contains a large collection of Windows utilities.  The WinPE components and utilities are later/new than the components on Hirens or Bob.0mbs.    Today (March 2023) it is the preferred tool.    Downloading can be painful because the sites I have found provide "click bait" that conceals the "right download".   I did download it successfully from [[https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/sergei_strelecs_winpe.html|I downloaded it from MajorGeeks]]
  
 [[https://www.hirensbootcd.org|Hirens Win_PE]] This site offers two versions/collections of software. Apparently the original creator of the Hirens collection ceased to provide updates, so a community continued the process. The last version of the original Hirens is available, as is, a more current release. If you download and burn the latest ISO, you will discover a lot of utilities. Here is the download link for the [[https://www.hirensbootcd.org/files/HBCD_PE_x64.iso|1.3 gb iso]]. You can use [[https://rufus.ie/|Rufus]] to create a bootable thumb drive. Or, you can put a copy of the Hirens iso on a thumb drive with Ventoy. [[https://www.hirensbootcd.org|Hirens Win_PE]] This site offers two versions/collections of software.
