Yes It's when I created the ISO for 1809 I had to format my computer to enable the Optane memory :P
But didn't want to go 1709 -> 1803 -> 1809 xD

the free sardu version allows one iso at a time.
What about your win pe does it have all the tools ? your file is still downloading . do you know what the file size is ?

I updated the WinPE the file is called (Copype.iso) that has 295MB the other is the Win1809 Iso (which has nearby 4gb).
i have used bootit-bm for such multibooting : http://www.grc.com/spinrite.htm
it allows up to 128 different boot entries
or try Yumi : https://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/

YEah, the problem is that you're downloading the whole thing. 4gb + 400 (twice).
Let me remove the Win1809 iso. ok?
It's done,
so cancel that and download it again from the original link
If anybody wants the win 1809 is here:

ok jose trying again to download

copype is downloading correctly.
but windows 1809 is not dowloading and that is 3.9gb . may be it will download one at a time.

USB drives are really cheap enough that the multi boot thing just adds complications...

Thanks guys, much appreciated. I did not find anything in copype.iso , it was just a command prompt to system32.
I don't know what to do with . I need help with adding iso's to the pe file, but jose has not shown or explained what to do and how to do it with the command prompt.
So I am still stuck with the question how to create a win pe usb boot disk and how to add iso's to the pe disk ?

use a tool such as yumi or multiboot to create the iso/usb

i suggested Yumi some posts ago already ….
Technically in a multiboot you are not adding iso's to the pe boot disk. The pe boot disk is just another bootable image in the total.
But it is still much easier to get a few smaller USB thumb drives and make separate bootable installers. Not only is the initial creation easier, but updating the individual distros installers is much easier since you can't always just swap out an image name and expect it to work.

you can delete, - and re-add another iso in Yumi as easily
but for iso's i use very frequently - i use separate usb drives
i have also one bigger one to contain most software i need for work

yumi has not booted, that is why I gave up on yumi, but I will try it again, so I can post you the snapshot of what happens.
Most likely your key is for an OEM windows install, and they don't usually get Microsoft support, but get support from the PC manufacturer.
i have never found Yumi noy booting...probably you did something wrong
post the steps you took

I used yumi to multiboot two acronis files to win pe boot mgr and was successfully loaded,
I then booted yumi and both the files are the there but when I click on the first acronis file , it says not found. and the second file the same error message, so I will have to try some other app

You don't have a Retail key!
OEM software is not supposed to be reinstalled on different hardware.
Once the hardware is defunct the license is also defunct, it's not transferable.

I am not installing it on another hardware but the same laptop
You will need to obtain OEM media from the vendor.
you said : " two acronis files" which ones? are tyhey bootable?

And about the Multiboot (I have never used it but I have used another tool from them so), this would be my 1st guess
