Windows 10: 1909 Feature update using MCT to Create an ISO

Ok--I found some info about the new Feature 1909 update. The text states it will act like normal monthly updates from Windows Update.


And with the last updates for 1903 the bits of 1909 have been installed in a dormant state.


So does this mean that the Install Now option in Windows Update for the Feature 1909 will proceed like the monthly Quality Updates and not be a major reinstall like the previous Feature Updates had been?


I am at 18362.476 now and the Feature 1909 update shows as optional in the Separate Module of Windows Update with the Install Now button.


I did get the MCT for 1909. Would the Create ISO option work the same as the previous version create ISO? In other words the 1903 ISO was saved in 30 minutes plus 20 minutes to verify and about 5 minutes to move it into the location I selected to save it at.


Or will the new ISO take less time to save and verify?


Or will the Windows Update Install Now be a much faster Patch In.

:)

 

1909 in the offing?

No. I'm suggesting that to install 1909 first Setup installs 1903 (18362) then it switch on the 1909 (18363) features with the Enablement Package.

1909 is not a full Feature Update in the normal sense, this is the first Feature Update to be performed via a form of cumulative update. See my post #115

 

Creating Featuire 1903 update ISO with Media Creation Tool

Hello--I understand the process of using the Media Creation Tool to create the Feature 1903 ISO.

I will use the MCT when I have access to a better internet connection in July.

Feature 1903 Update has showed in the Separate Module in Windows Update on my notebook. So it is ready for my notebook.

I will be getting just the X-64.

Roughly how long does MCT take to save the Feature 1903 x-64?

Not sure how large the ISO is for 1903, but the 1809 ISO was 4.7 Gbs

 

Use MCT to create bootable Flash drive with previously downloaded ISO

Actually the MS way seems to be the other way round, first copy the files to the USB then use Bootsect...

As it happens, last week I made a Win 8.1 install USB by copying the files from a DVD that itself had been burned from an ISO made by the Win 8 MCT. I didn't use the Bootsect command and that boots fine on my legacy bios systems.

Apparently...

...so the fact that my USB booted without being updated suggests it's a redundant opperation.

I don't have a uefi system to test my USB on, perhaps @NavyLCDR could comment on that?
