ofcourse....i dont see why not. this update is no big deal if it was the public would have pick it up.
I like keeping original .isos as published by Microsoft and getting the updates after. They have matching hashes, so maybe one day they could be in a museum!
What does that have to do with creating an uptodate iso for upgrading/installing? what am i doing at the svf(/sfx) repo?
Do you keep the originals as well or replace them with your updated ones? Keeping both takes up precious bytes!
Yes, but storage gets cheaper by the day, and cloud storage is also an option for people with good net speeds.
The other day I went through some of my .isos. I had something for everything, so I was able to trim it down some and keep what would be useful to me instead of having every little twist and turn I created along the way.
I know people who are digital collectors/hoarders/completists, but while it's not my cup of tea their collection is quite useful if I'm suddenly looking for an old ISO or software to install in a VM, especially when official sources are long dead and only dubious ones remain on the internet.
Build 14393.51 are Freezes => Explorer.exe has Not Responding ?? or not ?? Build 14393.10 are Big Problem Freezing => ALL AGAIN
I have .isos back to XP SP3. Can't see anything before that having much use although I know I have Windows 95, 98 and 3.1 CDs around somewhere. I had 3.0 on floppies but I think the set may be missing one disk. I'm sure you can get almost anything on line if you look hard enough although you're right that the further back the more dubious sources would be.
- For Windows 98, I have the CD that was given to us, beta testers; - For Windows 95, I have the floppies I received through snail mail; - For Windows 3.1, only floppies, including something related to network, I can't remember what; - Before that, I have Windows 2.03, 1.03, 1.02, 1.01 and 1.0, everything on floppies. Although I'm not a collector
You never can tell sometimes. I had forgotten all about DOS till I felt nostalgic and wanted to play some old games one day. I'm sure I still have my original floppies for 6.22 and older versions stored somewhere but don't even have a drive to read them any more, so I downloaded some unmodified images I could use. I bet that if storage wasn't an issue even you and I might not bother to trim our collections. It's similar to how people back in the day had to regularly get rid of old mails or their inboxes would get filled up, but the necessity disappeared once Gmail was launched with a then massive 1GB limit and competitors soon followed.
I suppose each folder must be having tons of ISOs? Nice! So which category do you fall into - collector, hoarder, completist, something else?
Hmm . . . . not sure. There's certainly something to be said for having an efficient collection--what works for you and not having everything that was ever invented. I have what I might call essentials on another drive in my desktop and then on a backup drive additional backups of those plus other stuff I consider essential but not vital.
