Backing up base Winpe build
I would like to add that it is typically a good idea to make a copy of the base winpe and winpe-512 builds prior to adding drivers. This is not -absolutely- necessary, but is best practice. I would add the steps to do this. So I would propose:
3. Select winpe and click Copy. Name this Backup, then click OK.
4. Select winpe and click Edit...
Because a damaged Windows PE build requires a reinstall, it is good to backup.
