    No language pack; No talk.

    Add these packages to make available Editions "from incomplete to complete" is more beneficial:

    [Firstly]
    Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Basic-en-gb-Package-amd64.esd
    Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Handwriting-en-gb-Package-amd64.esd
    Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-OCR-en-gb-Package-amd64.esd
    Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Speech-en-gb-Package-amd64.esd
    Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-TextToSpeech-en-gb-Package-amd64.esd
    or
    Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Basic-zh-cn-Package-amd64.esd
    Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Fonts-Hans-Package-amd64.esd
    Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Handwriting-zh-cn-Package-amd64.esd
    Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-OCR-zh-cn-Package-amd64.esd
    Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Speech-zh-cn-Package-amd64.esd
    Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-TextToSpeech-zh-cn-Package-amd64.esd

    [Secondly]
    Microsoft-OneCore-ApplicationModel-Sync-Desktop-FOD-Package-amd64.cab
    Microsoft-Windows-Hello-Face-Migration-Package-amd64.cab
    Microsoft-Windows-Hello-Face-Package-amd64.cab
    Microsoft-Windows-MediaPlayer-Package-amd64.cab
    Microsoft-Windows-TabletPCMath-Package-amd64.cab
    OpenSSH-Client-Package-amd64.cab

    [Lastly]
    Microsoft-Windows-FodMetadata-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.17784.1068.cab

    17784.1068.200716-1400.rs5_release_svc_hci_CLIENTCORE_NOAPPS_OEMRET_x64FRE_EN-GB-CCC_X64FRE_EN-GB.iso

    10176.16384 packages are compatible with 10240.16384.
    26085.1 packages are compatible with 26100.1.

    Q: I can use 10176.16384 to reconstruct 10240.16384. But I can not use 26085.1 to reconstruct 26100.1. Why?

    If compatible, I can use one small image (few packages only) to reconstruct all Client and Server of another build.
    Otherwise, I have to use two source images of the build, e.g. 26100.1 Client for 26100.1 Server and 26100.1 Server for 26100.1 Client.

    17784.1 vs 17763.1, no.
    20279 vs 20348.1, yes.
    26085.1 vs 26100.1, no.

    All packages are compatible to each other. We can switch Packages and Language packs. Just NOT for Reconstruction.

    So?
    Package is Package; Servicing is Servicing.
    Reconstruction is by "Servicing".

    Q: Which package is 26100.1 Server's fundamental System Core package?
    A: ServerCore-SKU-Foundation-merged.
    Microsoft-Windows-ServerCore-SKU-Foundation-merged-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.26100.1
    Microsoft-Windows-ServerCore-SKU-Foundation-WOW64-merged-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.26100.1

    Q: What is the difference between these two packages?
    Microsoft-Windows-Servicing-Full-Package
    Microsoft-Windows-ServicingStack-Full-Package

    Q: Which one is required for Reconstruction?
    A: Microsoft-Windows-ServicingStack-Full-Package.

    Yes. I use these two packages for 26100 Client Reconstruction:
    1.
    Microsoft-Windows-ServerCore-SKU-Foundation-merged-Package
    Microsoft-Windows-ServerCore-SKU-Foundation-WOW64-merged-Package
    2.
    Microsoft-Windows-ServicingStack-Full-Package

    While Reconstruction, there may be an error caused by incompatible "Advanced Installer".

    e.g. Reconstruction from 17784.1068 to 17763.1.

    Thanks.

    Q: I tried 26100.1. It showed an error about "environment". What is that?

    There are these components:
    1. Microsoft-Win4-Feature
    2. Microsoft-Win3-Feature
    3. Microsoft-Win2-Feature
    4. Microsoft-Win1-Feature
    5. Microsoft-Win0-Feature

    Q: If they are "Environment". Which one is exactly required for Reconstructon?

    I tried Win3 because I also do ServerCore. The Reconstruction is OK for both Client and Server.

    Q: What about Windows 10 that has no such component packages? Which are the equivalent components?

    Q: Does Reconstruction Source have to be a "full" image?

    Q: What if no Source image?

    I never compare the time consuming among different ways.

    OK. Test 26100.1 EnterpriseSN in official structure.

    [Construction] 10240.16384 without updates won't boot normally. I don't like it at all. Trouble maker only.

    If you do Reconstruction on amd64 Host OS, the WOW64 Win3 is not necessary for Servicing.wim.

    [The footprint of Servicing.wim]
    With WOW64 Win3: 115,481 KB
    Without WOW64 Win3: 94,423 KB
