    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!

    Have you got that to work with the latest pre-release builds?

    Practically all of my upgrades since beginning are made from ESD files. Works on this one from 8.1 too.
