Standalone Win8.1Update_PE x64 or x86
New Win8.1 with Update PE available in standalone x86 or x64 versions. This version includes many new requested apps including 5 different browsers, for those who are picky about their browser or for web site compatibility testing.
Note 1. WinPE boots in ram. For best results the x86 version requires at least 2.5 gb of ram and the x64 version with 3GB or more of ram. If you start getting strange errors when launching applications it is usually low memory issues.
Note 2. Give powershell 10-15 seconds to load all its modules on start-up.
Note 3. This is the Windows 8.1 Update Version 6.3.9600.17031
Note 4. Anyone having issues with the x86 version download the Gandalf’s_Win8.1uPE_x86v3.iso version and let me know how it works for you. Give it a minimum 2.5 gb of ram and give me feedback on how it works for you.

It’s a large download . The x64 version is 1.47gb and the x86 version is 920 mb, so be patient it can take 15-30 minutes (depending on your internet speed) to download. After downloading burn the bootable ISO file to DVD, USB or mount the iso. A BIG THANKS to everyone over at theOven.org and the Win8.1PE SE Project for the great work they have done in helping me create this WIN8.1PE disk
