Hiren’s BootCD PE is a new version based on Windows 10 PE x64. This article will guide you how to use AIO Boot to add Hiren’s BootCD PE to your USB drive.
Hiren's Boot CD 16.3 is the Unofficial Version, it was Released on 2017-03-15. The Bootmgr is now fixed which is why for not starting Windows 7 PE to load file boot.wim. 1 Changes from v16.2 to v16.3 1.1 Files on XP.wim 1.2 Updated Softwares 1.3 New Softwares 1.4 Known Issues 2 Screenshots Added MagHook.dll by launching Magnifier.

On the official homepage of Hiren’s BootCD, Hiren’s BootCD 15.2 is the latest version. Hiren’s BootCD PE was released on the website developed by the fans of Hiren’s BootCD.
Hiren’s BootCD PE includes only a single version of Windows 10 PE x64, supports new generation PCs and supports booting in UEFI mode (UEFI 64-bit, not 32-bit). If I’m not mistaken, like Bob.Omb’s Modified Win10PEx64 and Gandalf’s Windows 10PE, Windows 10 PE x64 from Hiren’s BootCD PE is also based on Win10PE SE.
Hiren’s BootCD 15.2 installs software, DLLs, and drivers on CD and USB drives, making smaller .WIM files and booting faster. Hiren’s BootCD PE includes all of that in a boot.wim file, although programs start faster but this makes this file larger (about 1.2GB), making booting slower and more RAM consumes, requiring at least 2GB of RAM.
Hiren’s BootCD PE includes only free software, .NET Framework 4 and .NET Framework 4.5 are supported.
See the list of software included and download Hiren’s BootCD PE x64 ISO here, the file name is HBCD_PE_x64.iso.
Like other Windows 10 PE versions, you can easily integrate its ISO file into USB with AIOCreator.exe. Currently the latest version is v1.0.1, please let me know if it has new version.
Now you can restart your computer or use VirtualBox or VMware Workstation to test, boot it from the WinPE & Setup menu. Good luck!
