Optimize WinPE: Recommended for devices with limited RAM and storage (for example, 1GB RAM/16GB storage). See WinPE: Mount and Customize: High Performance. Note, our sample deployment scripts already set this scheme automatically. Set the power scheme to high-performance. PowerShell scripts are not included in this lab.
