Windows 10: WINTOUSB now effectively only paid versions available (windows 1809)

Hi there
Any Wintousb users -- great product but the bad news is that for Windows release 1809 it's gone pay only - the free version continues to work for windows release 1803 and earlier but if you want to use this product with windows releases 1809 and higher (when they appear) you now have to get a license.

Shame but there we are - a lot of people are trying to monetise what were free products these days -- shame but it's a commercial planet so can't really blame the developer.

Alternative is Macrium with VIboot. Not quite as convenient but it works.

Cheers

WMP for version 1809...


My Windows 10 N, version 1803 had used Windows Media Player via installing it from the "Windows_MediaFeaturePack_x64_1803.msu" file.

Updating to 1809 removed the WMP and no longer available in the apps list:





There's an updated version listed at:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...ows-n-editions

But clicking on the link and looking for the 1809 in the drop down list of versions does not show the media feature pack available for download for 1809; instead it shows version 1709 and 1803.

Does anyone have a direct link to WMP for Windows 10 N, version 1809?

TIA...

 

WintoUSB users - 1809 update won't install even cloning system


Hi folks

Those of you making WindowstoGo using Wintousb software will be disappointed by this release

1) you can't create it via the install windows with the ISO or wim images
2) clone current system fails on boot.
3)macrium fix windows boot problems (which normally is excellent) doesn't fix it either

Hopefully wintousb will be updated soon

(I like Wintousb on an external SSD as I can have a totally separate language version of Office and Windows on it rather than keep messing about changing languages on several PC's (provided you've got a digital license the wintousb will boot activated from different machines.- At least it used to until 1809 !!).
