    Iso, esd or wim?


    Many people have reported that DISM will not use the .ESD file contained in the Media Creation Tool ISO file and had to download the ISO from Tech Bench containing the .WIM file, so I always suggest just going to Tech Bench first.

    ESD to ISO - Create Bootable ISO from Windows 10 ESD File  


    @Kari
    During the discussion about ESD to ISO in the past few days, I have read some misconceptions about ESDs, crypto keys and decryption tool.
    First is the Install.esd referenced in this tutorial. This ESD is not encrypted and never has been as far as I know. That is not to say that there cannot be an ESD named Install.esd that is encrypted but the one specified in this tutorial is not.
    Second is the crypto key. The crypto key is usually found in the product.xml, but with Insiders builds it can be found in windlp.state.xml.
    Third is the decryption tool. The decryption tool may or may not need to decrypt an ESDs. If so then the crypto key is needed, if not then it proceeds to the next step whatever that may be. In reality the decryption tool becomes an ESD to ISO convertor tool as is the case in this tutorial.
