    So I got the update for Windows 10 from Windows 10 and I updated it. After updating I remembered that I needed to upgrade my other PC too. But I had already blown my data cap and went above it. I went through the folders and found the Install.esd in the sources folder. I then copied it to my Desktop and then converted it using ESD Decrypter 4.7
    to iso.

    I wanted to ask if I can use it to upgrade my other PC.

    Damn! I should've also saved the ESDs in the ~ folder. I thought as much that it was usable. Well.. next time.

    While new build update is being downloaded, the temporary link for intact encripted ESD is stored in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\DataStore.edb, same as KB .cab & LP .cab, etc.

    Usually, we could use the following elevated commands to retrieve it:

    Step 1: (to get ESD {JobID})

    bitsadmin /list /allusers

    Step 2: (to get temporary ESD link)

    bitsadmin /listfiles {JobID}
