    How to determine before install if I have the correct ISO?


    How do I determine before blowing away an existing installation if my Install Media has WIndows 10 Pro versus Windows 10 Home?


    I have paid for two disks, both of which were supposed to be Win 10 Pro, and after install I still had Windows 10 HOME, not Pro.

    Need ISO maker

    Um, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't UDF the DVD format?

    "The name ISO is taken from the ISO 9660 file system used with CD-ROM media, but an ISO image might also contain a UDF file system."

    Best way to OS to iso to install?!

    Norton ghost can make ISO's of a HDD but I would just suggest making a whole image and placing it on a thumbdrive cause its faster to install instead of useing a DVD drive.
