The release of palera1n for Windows is a massive convenience upgrade for the jailbreak community. Previously, Windows users were forced to use a USB bootable Linux distribution (like Ubuntu) to run the tool, which was a significant barrier to entry.

It retains the complexity of a command-line interface (CLI) but removes the headache of rebooting your entire PC into a different operating system.

Minimum 1GB capacity. Note that all data on this drive will be wiped.
