Windows 10: Size of 1607 Win 10 MCT download

I downloaded through the Media Creation Tool for a friend and the resulting file was to be burned to a cd.
That resulted with an error after the burn completed with the Windows Explorer burn.
The total file is 3545472 which I translate into 3.5Gb
Attempts at creating a Rufus boot usb did not display the 'use Windows standard' ( or to that effect) when I linked to that .iso. Since it did not look exactly like the samples in the Tenforum tutorials I backed out and decided to do a double check.
My own download in Aug for the 1607 version was 4.2Gb (4277722kb)
Meanwhile it takes hours for these downloads and I'm downloading again but not with the MCT
Is the current iso downloading any different in content from the Aug AU update?
The goal is to do a clean install on the friend's laptop. He had no success upgrading to the AU version from 1511 so went back to Win7

:)

 

after finishing downloading windows 10 from MCT and during creating the file , it gave error!!!

after finishing downloading windows 10 from MCT and during creating the file , it gave cannot run this tool ,error 0xb00000

Are Older ISO's of Windows 10 1607 available from MS Software Download?

Hello Everyone,

Is 1607 ISO media still available from MS? I'm unable to access 1607 media from the Media Creation Tool download. It only offers me three Edition choices and no Version choices. The media available is for 1703 only on my device.

•Win 10

•Win 10 Home Single Language

•Win 10 N

Andre Da Costa suggests that the 1607 ISO is available for download in his excellent article HERE

I have tried to access this 1607 ISO from the drop down menu that Andre screenshots, but it cannot be found on my device.....I'm currently using 1703 15063.540 and very happy with that! I'm
not trying to downgrade to 1607.

I'm simply trying to learn and later teach others how to access and create 1607 media if they cannot run 1703 on their systems, i.e. hardware incompatibility, etc.

FYI: A clean/custom installation is required when
downgrading from 1703 to 1607 should you have 1607 media already on hand.

Anyone with clarification on this matter? Wondering if 1607 must be currently installed on a device, for it to be offered in the MCT download
version drop-down menu? Wondering why the 1607 option is not offered to my device...perhaps because it is 1703 I have installed?

Your thoughts are appreciated,

Wayne

 

Well that 3.5 total download had to be faulty because I just ran the Rufus tool on my original Aug 1607 download and immediately the words Standard Windows Installation showed up and its ready to do its thing on a USB flash drive.
So my friend will just have to do a bunch of updates to catch up.

 

The ISO file is the same as the August AU. Microsoft usually does not update the ISO file between major builds and the next major build is scheduled sometime in early 2017.

 

Right. I am now using my original download and the Rufus tool is immediately doing what is expected.
Once this install is complete on the friend's laptop he can do his own updates from Oct and Nov.

I have never had a bad download before but I usually go to the catalog. Sort of ironic that the MCT routine for burning to a cd resulted in loss bits.
