Windows Preinstallation Environment is a lightweight version of Windows used for the deployment of PCs.
RE = Recovery Environment
Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) is a recovery environment that can repair common causes of unbootable operating systems. WinRE is based on Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE), and can be customized with additional drivers, languages, Windows PE Optional Components, and other troubleshooting and diagnostic tools. By default, WinRE is preloaded into the Windows 10 for desktop editions. 1709 is the latest version of Windows 10 PE that Reflect supports. RE supports up to 1903. Even though there are newer versions, PE is still on 1709 because, apparently, newer PE's, if available, don't add anything newly significant enough to warrant testing for inclusion in Reflect. 1909 is the latest Windows 10 release, but the latest RE is 1903 because 1909 is basically 1903 with just a few tweaks. 1909 is such a minor update that Microsoft's change log pages for 1903 and 1909 use the same page. Moreover, except for the size difference PE & RE are almost identical in nature & are equally efficient. Hope this gives you a clearer picture.
