Please forgive me as I am still learning. In short, I am trying to add tools I have to a usb bootable drive and not sure which way to do it. I have watched this video below, but not sure if a winPE will allow me to add many tools to as I like, and honestly not sure how to add them anyway. I cant seem to find that video.
On the other hand I seen another nice video that Britec made, but not sure if It would be too difficult for me to make, bc he said some thongs need to be done and some dont. I just want to be able to add tools simple, bc I am not as good as some of you all.. I am confused at what is necessary and whats not. The video confused me a little. Any help would be great.

ok the two video links you posted are showing you two different things
the first video link are showing you, how you can use a winpe for troubleshooting
the second video are showing you how to create one flash drive with all your Iso windows 7 win10 win 8.1 .ect
you said you are bit confused no need to be the trick is to create a clear gold on what you want to establish
do you want to create a winpe and add tools to it
or
do you want create a flash drive with all the iso on it
Not quite sure. I want to take tools I have for troubleshooting and put them on a bootable usb. Like my hirens, activeboot disk, etc..so they are on 1 usb for convenience. I think I will have to make sure they are all iso correct? I am not sure how to add executable s on. Just trying to figure out the best / easiest way for me
Thanks for the reply
Actually if I make the executables into a iso can I add them and will they work?

The best luck I have had is using WinSetupFromeUSB for my emergency boot disks, I have used many and tried this one after I saw the video review that Brian did.
I used to build loads and post them on the internet years ago.

(((NEWS FLASH!!!!))) Make more than one copy....
I still use discs for my stuff, I'm just a bit old school like that I suppose I'm probably just paranoid about writing malware to a USB, still, it all works the same
I build and slipstream all my own Windows images and keep them updated so there is no chance of malware, also is so much quicker doing this way. Installing Windows from an original cd will take a lot longer because you have to update all the Windows updates etc. When you do a big volume of computer repairs you have got to work smarter to get more done. More done = more money. I know Carey Holzman still installs from CD and then uses Windows Update. That just takes far to long if you have lots of computers to do.

I was referring more to repair tools mainly Linux based as opposed to windows ISOs, but yea the slipstream would save soooo much time.
