As Windows continues to be upgraded, WinPE will become increasingly larger, and the memedisk method may encounter problems. We are not familiar with iPXE, but maybe you should use iPXE's wimboot feature instead of the memdisk feature to run WinPE.
I'm trying that right now. But it doesn't work in Legacy mode either.

I've now created the ISO under Windows 10, and there I can successfully load it again using PXE in Legacy Mode. So it's due to the new Windows PE environment. Let's see if there's a solution for this.

What is the size of the WinPE created in Windows 10? Maybe you should compare the sizes of the two WinPEs. In addition, you should try to see if this WinPE can boot normally through the USB port.

The size:
Code: pi@raspberrypi:/var/www/html/pxe/Hasleo $ ls -la *.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 466878464 Oct 2 19:46 hbswinpe.iso
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 468975616 Sep 28 11:20 hbswinpeW11.iso
the hsbwinpe.iso is from windows 10 and the other from windows 11

I've now created a USB stick. I can boot the PC in legacy mode without any problems.

I am very sorry that we may not be able to do more in this situation.

Running this by the admin / development team. What would be the odds of incorporating the ability to backup directly to Google Drive or OneDrive? More specifically for the file backup function. I was playing around with the program "Duplicati" that does what I want, but it appears to be very buggy.

This is certainly possible. While supporting only Google Drive and OneDrive would be relatively straightforward, the existence of numerous cloud drive services in the market makes this a labor-intensive task. Furthermore, cloud drive performance is highly dependent on network conditions, which may lead to various anomalies during the backup process. This could cause users to attribute these issues to the backup program itself, consequently requiring significant time to address various exceptions.

So, what you're saying is that there is a chance?  I mentioned Google Drive and OneDrive specifically because they are the top 2 most common, which would accommodate the largest population of users. Having the ability to use one (1) program to provide both local and encrypted cloud storage is not only a great feature addition, but could also be a great selling point for the paid version if that is the only way to get access to the cloud storage option.

In fact, we do have plans to support cloud storage. If we had sufficient manpower, we would have started it long ago. Thanks.
