what happened from ati2016 to ati2017= WinPE-Media Builder (2017=no x86 support?

So today I received my ATI Home 2017 & have been comparing the Manuals..and found:
2016: page 118, Section 11.1.1 Acronis Media Builder:
"Acronis Media Builder supports both x86 and x64 WinPE 3.0, WinPE 4.0, and WinPE 5.0."
-----
2017: page 122, Section 11.1.1 Acronis Media Builder:
"Acronis Media Builder supports only x64 WinPE 3.0, WinPE 4.0, WinPE 5.0, and WinPE 10.0."
So is this a documentaion error, a return to a situation seen in earlier years or?

I hadn't gotten to the point of poking around inside 2017 yet. But if I recall, this was an issue with v2015... I do recall that i made an Acronis winpe v6559 during the bumpy months when there was an issue with ati recognizing many USB 3.0 devices.
I knew that you would be THE MAN who could quickly determine if this was a documentation error or domething more...
as slways, your knowledge and reputation in this area are acknowledged!

WinPE media builder is built in. Ran the media creation part of the program and made a WinPE CD and WinPE flash drive.

I see 32-bit pe components. Just installed the main version over the beta so now have to reboot before I can test. It might be that you can't create 32-bit PE on a 64-bit machine. I believe that even 2016 always defaults to 64-bit as well. I have not had an issue detecting any USB devices with default Linux media in years - it even detects USB 3.1 ethernet adapters on the Dell ultrabooks. I would give the Linux media a shot. Unless you have custom RAID enabled, the default bootable media is probably just fine.
