Your 'exe' has to be a, possibly minimal, operative system. Have a look at "Beginning Operating System Development, Part One"[^] to get an idea of the effort required.

5ed. But is EXE is EXE (PE), it needs some system already booted before one has something to load the PE. Please see my answer.

That's the whole point. You have to engineer your possibly minimal OS, in order to skip the existing one (that's the topic of the linked article).
By the way, thank you.

You cannot, period. It would be too long and boring thing to explain why. Just one thing: to recognize and load your executable file, PE file, you already need a lot of OS components.

To get just some basic ideas, you can read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booting[^].
