  1. ESD file


    In the $windows.~WS folder and then Sources there is a file Installx64.esd
    can that be used to create a ISO file that can be burned to do an Install?
    also would rufus be able to create a bootable usb?
    thanks.

    Windows 10 create your own installation media

    You will need to decrypt the Windows 10 ESD file which is located w/in the following folder

    C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources\Install.esd

    upon your hard disk & convert it from an esd file back in to an ISO file using an ESD to ISO decrypter for your Windows 10 installation which can be saved to a safe place upon your PC!

  7. hi pbcopter; I did the conversion and it showed the 10240 build. so that one appears to be the version prior to the update. I took the file out of my current version which is 10586.
    I have done the esd to iso a few times and keep a folder for doing so. also have Rufus in there to create usb drives.
    thank you for the reply.

  9. Thank you for the link. There are so many links to download from and you never know how fast they keep them current. I have three laptops that were upgraded about three days before the Autumn or november release and they still have not updated.
