I have ATI2017 and use the DOWNLOADED rescue media image on a flash drive. This image is Linux based and works really well. Was thinking of moving to the new ATI2020 but it seems this now uses the WinPE OS. Is the DOWNLOADED image also WinPE? Is there even a download image available?

Timothy, welcome to these public User Forums.

All downloaded Acronis rescue media (.ISO files) from the Acronis Account pages are only the Linux based media as Acronis do not have permission to distribute WinPE media from MS.

The default in recent versions of ATI, starting from 2018, is to create WinPE rescue media when using the Simple method for the rescue media builder in the main ATI GUI.  This uses the PE files found in the Windows Recovery Environment.

The WinPE media is more flexible in purpose and allows for additional device drivers to be injected etc, but can only be created locally by the user.  The Linux media can also be created by using the Advanced option of the builder tool, or else can still be downloaded.
