We have WinPE5 boot images that deploy win7. I couldn't find a way of enabling the boot menu that you get with plain old WDS.

Once you have thoroughly tested it with your Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 task sequences, you can remove the WinPE 4.0 boot image, distribute the WinPE 5.0 boot image to your Distribution Points, and then reassign the WinPE 5.0 boot image to your task sequences, essentially making that conversion.

But, what if I want to have the ability for my techs to select which boot image to use (boot manager screen). Is this doable and if so, how?

I previously came from an SP1 CU3 environment. I had full support setup for Windows 7 in my environment. In my environment I was using the default boot image created during the initial SCCM 2012 SP1 installation process. This boot image is now my default boot image for PXE. I recently created a new WinPE 5.0 boot image that I'd like to use for testing Windows 8.1 deployments. However, I do not want to break my current PXE process as I have technicians actively deploying Windows 7 in my environment. What options do I have to setup my new WinPE 5.0 boot image and still allow my techs to continue to deploy Win7 with the current boot image? How do I control which boot image PXE will use? Is it the most recently deployed boot image? Can I enable support so we can pick and choose which boot image to use? IF so, how?
