    If install.wim <= 4 GB, only a fat32 partition is created; install.wim is not splitted
    If install.wim > 4 GB, by default a fat32 and a ntfs partitions are created, othewise a single fat32 partition is created and install.wim is splitted.
    All three configurations have been successfully tested.

    How about?
    If install.wim < 4 GB only a fat32 partition is created
    If install.wim > 4 GB a fat32 and an ntfs partitions are created

    Can the script detect the size of the install.wim?

    Yes, it can :

    Split wim files have extra install steps (wim file needs to be combined). So if possible keep with the fat32 boot + ntfs partition

    Just looked at the latest script (v2.7).
    I may be missing something, but it seems that the script does not copy the main install.wim to the NTFS partition...?
    The only copy procedure to the NTFS partition that I see is:
    Code:
     robocopy $iso $usbntfs /e /xf $iso\boot\bcd $iso\efi\microsoft\boot\bcd

    Oh, sorry, I wasn't thinking. It copies everything except the bcd files.
    I must have been tired from work or something...my bad.

    @freddie-o would the script be applicable to the dual arhcitecture windows 10 isos, seeing as they don't really have a sources folder in the root, but rather x64 and x86 folders?

    I am not familiar with dual architecture ISOs but if it's a bootable ISO i don't see why not
    I guess the only way to find out is to test and see if it works :)

    The x86+x64 ISOs from MediaCreationTool is what I'm referring to. And yes, they are bootable(no modifications required).
    I guess I'll try it when I get back from work.

    @freddie-o ye, no, the window starts filling up with errors and it doesn't work. It finishes within 10 seconds of starting the process.

    I didn't notice you updated/edited your post. Anyway I haven't used x86 ISOs in a very long time so I wouldn't know
