Windows 10: My experience installing Version 1607

I had done an Upgrade from 1511 to 1607 on a client's computer this morning so I grabbed the install.esd, put it on a Thumb drive and sneaker-netted it to my main computer, used the ESDtoISO thingy to create the .iso file, burned it to DVD and Copied it to the Thumb drive [needs about 4.5GB free space]. I have started the install from disc on a Notebook and mounted the file from Thumb drive on a Desktop. An interesting feature or change is it did not prompt to Skip entering the Product Key but instead has a line about I'm reinstalling on this computer. But, on one I chose Not to look for updates and it only wanted the Key entered while the other I chose to let it look for updates, got the line I described. Both are working on the install now. Apparently the I'm reinstalling on this computer is "running home to momma", to take a phrase from Hunt for Red October, to check for a valid install so being connected to the 'net is important in one aspect but not in the other [if one has the Key].

One other thing about the ESDtoISO is you need just under 8GB free space to do the conversion, resulting .iso file is about 4.2GB.

Win 10 Creators Update incompatible with Media Feature Pack (KB3133719)

My experience exactly, including having no problems installing the KB3133719 feature pack back on 1607.

Thanks for checking. KB3197099 "makes improvements to ease the upgrade experience to Windows 10 Version 1607" so I thought it may have played a role in your getting Win10 1607 installed.

Good luck!
