    I haven't done it before. Any help will be appreciated.

    I'd like to have a solution like the one I already have with my TBWinRE using the following script:
    Code:
    %WINDIR%\system32\reagentc.exe /boottore
    %WINDIR%\system32\shutdown /r /t 2
    
    When I run the script:
    1. The computer begins to restart.
    2. When computer starts booting, no boot menu to choose an action, just straight into the TBWiinRE
    3. When I'm done, I restart the machine.
    4. No boot menu to choose OS, the computer boots straight into my Windows 10 system.

    Just use EasyBCD, and point to the iso/wim/img you want. Add the entry and delete all the others.

    Thanks mate but I need much more detail steps. I don't want to mess with my bcd file and leave my machine unbootable, then be forced to restore an image. SSD is wearing down a lot.

    I'm not on my computer right now, but Sergei Strelec WinPE already provides a solution for booting from the hard drive.

    Read Booting_from_Hard_Disk.txt located in the SSTR folder.

    Thanks @Hadron, it worked.

    I wonder if there is another method...
