Gandalf’s Windows 10PE x86 Threshold 2 build 10586 Fall update version 12-31-2015
This is is the my third release of a Windows 10 x86 PE and is the Threshold 2 build 10586 Fall update version. As with the previous version this provides support for running 32bit programs (WoW64). The apps listed below are included in this build. I have removed the portable apps menu and all the apps are now in the start menu. They still reside on your USB so they can be updated if needed. New with this version is the ability to switch from a system account to an admin account. This allows for running apps like Teamviewer which refuse to run on the system account. It starts up into the admin account by default. New apps in this release include Windows Defender, Teamviewer, AOMEI Partition Assistant and more. Full list below. Checksums at the end of this post.

CutePDF Writer 3.0.1.0 Silent Installer
CutePDF Writer 3.0.1.0 Silent Installer
Portable Document Format (PDF) is the de facto standard for the secure and reliable distribution and exchange of electronic documents and forms around the world. CutePDF Writer is the free version of commercial PDF converter software. CutePDF Writer installs itself as a “printer subsystem”. This enables virtually any Windows applications (must be able to print) to convert to professional quality PDF documents – with just a push of a button!
If users in your environment need to create simple PDF files from their documents then installing this can solve the problem and save big dollars over installing Adobe Acrobat and users do not usually require if all they need is a converter.
The silent installer also installs Ghostscript which is required by cutepdf writer to convert PS2PDF
To convert your document to a pdf file simply print it to the CutePDF Writer and when prompted for a file name, choose the name for the pdf file.
Make sure to run with administrator rights.
