Windows 10: Can't find 10576/10586 iso to install to VirtualBox

Greetings all,

I'm trying to install the latest version (or previous version) of Windows 10 on Virtual Box. Problem is, i can't find the .iso file to download so that i can do clean install and use a 8.0 license i have. I'm aware that the Fall Update .iso's are not out yet but i was hoping to find one for 10576.

I just used the Microsoft Media Creation Tool to download the .iso but am assuming it will be for the RTM/GA build (10240)?

Any suggestions - should i just wait for the 10586 .iso when it is released to the general public?


TIA

:)

 

How do I write a Reminder note with a stylus in Cortana?

Here is the official blog announcement of build 10586.

First Major Update for Windows 10 Available Today - Windows Experience Blog

It clearly features the Cortana note-taking and Edge enhancement. Go Figure. Maybe there are settings for them but I can't imagine them not being default settings.

The announcement blog for build 10576 did say that the user can cast to "Miracast or DLNA device."

Windows 10 Activation

My PC ended up getting messed up due to drivers in build 10586 (Fixed it). I had to use a flash drive to do a re-install of windows 10. When it finished I get an error that my is not activated. Giving me this "Windows can't active right now. Try activating
later. If that doesn't work contact support. Error code: 0x80070002. I am now on Build 10576.

 

10586 has just been released, you can get it here Tech Bench

 

Thank you for the quick response - what is the difference between the Tech Bench Upgrade Program and the one released to the general public??

I don't want alot of extras aimed at techs - i want the generic version.


TIA

 

No difference at all except it isn't compressed as much - (3.04GB vs 3.61GB). It doesn't have any extra features.

 

Thanks for the info. - i will download it now and install it in Virtual Box.

 

Since i am installing on Virtual Box, should i download the 32 or 64 bit version - laptop has the 64 bit version of Windows 10 Home?

 

I use 64 bit in all my VMs but only because I run 64 bit on host and don't want to download 2 ISO.

It doesn't really matter unless you are planning on assigning more than 4GB RAM to the guest. Windows 10 in VirtualBox runs fine with 2GB assigned for me.

 

I would go with 64 bit.

 

Thanks guys - downloaded the 64 bit version & now going to install it in Virtual Box!

 

Let us know how it go's.

 

I tried to install direct from .iso - error message 'no install media found' (paraphrased).

I'm burning a DVD to install from - keeping fingers & toes crossed!*Wink

 

I don't think you can install on VirtualBox from an actual DVD (I've never tried actually).

You need to browse to the Win10_1511_English_x64.iso file in the virtual player in settings > storage

 

I did, but it still gave me the error message. I tried installing from the .iso file.
