Hikari-PE-x64-v8.51-HardwareTestSuite-Plus-EN.iso is a bootable ISO image that contains a customized version of the Windows Preinstallation Environment (PE). This environment provides a lightweight, platform-independent interface for testing and validating computer hardware. The ISO image is designed to be burned to a USB drive or CD/DVD, allowing users to boot their systems directly into the testing environment.
Hikari PE is designed for modern systems. To run this x64 version, your PC must have an x64-compatible CPU with the x86-64 instruction set and support for the UEFI boot mode. The developers note that "we believe that hardware that does not support UEFI will also find it difficult to install Windows 11 smoothly." As such, it is not suitable for very old (pre-2012) legacy hardware. hikari-pe-x64-v8.51-hardwaretestsuite-plus-en.iso
