    Just wanted to check on this on a clean install of 10. I did this yesterday and found out this:
    1. offline net 3.5 install: this cmd admin command works (L is optical disk destination)
    Dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:L:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess

    2. Net 4.6 does not install. Is it baked in 10 iso.

    When I opened your given link, there are four editions of windows 10:
    1- Windows 10
    2- Windows 10 KN
    3- Windows 10 N
    4- Windows 10 Single Language

    I want to know that If I select first of them, it has both Home & Pro? Or what?
    Please tell this.

    Yes, it has both Home and Pro and 64-bit will be 3.80GB. Same as MSDN.

    ... + the MCT ISO holds compressed ESD whereas the other holds WIM.

    This statement brought another confusion.
    I thought both sources give ISO files, not ESD or WIM. As I know WIM is also a disk image file format like ISO. Then why put one disk image into another? o_O

    Iso file is a disk image and can contain an install.wim or an install.esd file which is needed for the install process. Esd file is just an high-compressed wim file. Hoping i've been clear enough :)

    Most important files in a Windows ISO are boot.wim (Setup and Recovery Environment) and install.wim or install.esd (the actual Windows files that get applied during Setup).

    You can install Windows by using only install.wim/esd by applying it from RE with DISM.

    since you already upgraded, your HWID is already at MS. so just install it without the upgrade and it will activate on its own. No need for ATO most likely.
