PatchPE is a Command-Line patcher for PE executable headers that will make them compatible with older versions of Windows.
It will also enable LAA (Large Address Aware) attribute to the EXE. This process allows it to take advantage of allocating more than 2 GB of physical memory. Recent linkers are used to add the latest versions on the headers allowing you to find programs that are marked to work only on Windows 10 but, once patched, can work in Windows XP, or even 2000 or NT.
In some circumstances, the program itself will use features not available in older Windows versions, and thus, the resulting patched executable will not ultimately work.
Usage
PatchPE.exe
Examples:
PatchPE.exe notepad.exe
If you need to quickly perform patches on your PE files to make them compatible with older Windows versions, this simple Command-Line utility will be a helpful asset.
