# The native DISM cmdlets didn't like the ESD files very much, so using dism.exe instead. # Note, only tested on Windows 10 build 9860, 圆4 Enterprise edition. I added documentation inline in the script so it should not be too hard to follow.
#Create .iso image of windows 10 update#
Start the upgrade of Windows 10 build 9926 to Windows 10 build 10041 via Update and Recovery (the setup process decrypts the ESD file).
#Create .iso image of windows 10 install#
Install Windows 10 ADK on the VM as well (or copy the oscdimg.exe from another Windows 10 ADK installation).Install a VM with Windows 10 build 9926 (for which there is an ISO).To convert the Windows 10 build 10041 install.esd into a bootable ISO there are four simply steps: In MDT it’s super-easy to generate an ISO ? Step-by-step

Note: If you want to build an ISO that also contain drivers, updates and applications, view my post on how to deploy Windows 10 with MDT 2013. A machine (use a VM) running Windows 10 build 9926 with Windows 10 ADK preview installed (or the oscdimg.exe file copied from another install).To create a Windows 10 build 10041 ISO you need the following: The install.esd file after starting the upgrade from build 9926 to build 10041. But they are smaller than the normal WIM file, about 30 percent or so. You cannot mount or service an ESD file, and you will find they take forever to extract (decompress) information from. They are often called a Push-Button Reset Image. ESD files were introduced in Windows 8.1, and are simply highly compressed versions of a normal WIM file. Microsoft I trust not to add any malware.Įverything you need to create an ISO file of Windows 10 build 10041 ISO, is in the install.esd file which you find in the C:\$Windows.~BT\Sources folder after starting an upgrade from a Windows 10 build 9926 install. That being said: It’s indeed a bit faster to use a third party ESD decrypt tool, you save a about 10 minutes since you don’t need to spin up a Windows 10 machine, but I have always been a bit hesitant to download and run “hacks” from sites I don’t know well. That being said, of course you should use PowerShell to drive those tools. That’s not correct, Windows 10 and the Windows 10 ADK handles that perfectly on their own. There are plenty of posts out there claiming you need third party tools and/or ESD decrypt software to create a Windows 10 build 10041 ISO file. Update : Worked fine for Windows 10 build 10122 as well. Update : Worked fine for Windows 10 build 10061 as well. Update : Tim Mintner just released an excellent post on how you can convert the Windows 10 Pro SKU to Windows 10 Enterprise. Update : Microsoft just released ISO files of Windows 10 Professional build 10041, no Enterprise ISO files yet. You probably noticed there is no ISO download of some of the Windows 10 Enterprise Technical Preview builds, like 1001 (at least not yet), but with a little bit of PowerShell you can create one, allowing for clean installs.ĭisclaimer: This is probably not even remotely supported, so don’t blame me if something doesn’t work as it should (but please let me know)
