This is the function that is used to edit the WinPE in your OSDCloud Workspace.  The basic design of this function is to edit the Startnet.cmd in WinPE to perform a startup to run OSDCloud

In the example below, the default configuration starts WinPE with 3 windows

1. Startnet.cmd.  Closing this window will cause WinPE to restart
2. Normal PowerShell window.  This is where you should run you OSDCloud commands
3. Minimized PowerShell window.  This is a backup so you can run some commands while OSDCloud is running in the normal PowerShell window

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.osdcloud.com/osdcloud-v1/osdcloud/setup/osdcloud-winpe.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
