You can select the Wim file option and then put it into a USB WinPE.

1. Go to Control Panel/Recovery. Create a USB Recovery drive on USB. Uncheck the box to copy system files to the drive.

2. Create Universal Restore media selecting the Wim file option.

3. Rename the resulting Wim file to boot.wim.

4. Replace boot.wim in the sources folder of the USB Recovery drive with the copy of boot.wim from step 3 above.

i do not see this option on windows 7 x64 system.

i have google and saw the below link

      MakeWinPEMedia /UFD C:\winpe_amd64 F:   (Where F is the drive letter of your USB drive.)

3. Create Universal Restore media selecting the Wim file option.

4. Rename the resulting Wim file to boot.wim.
