    The used cab contains products.xml and it shows exactly what ESD files are downloaded :)

    thanks, i did that but when i opened "bootsect.exe.mui" with Notepad, it showed a lot of things and other incomprehensible information without showing me the win10 build version so here's what i did to be able to see the needed info :

    open the iso using 7-Zip then browse into :
    boot => your language => bootsect.exe.mui => .rsrc => version.txt

    After mounting the ISO:
    Specific index for verbose info:
    Code:
    dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:"x:\sources\install.wim" /Index:1
    General info for all contained indices:
    Code:
    dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:"x:\sources\install.wim"
    For MCT ISO use install.esd instead of *.wim.

    On a clean install:
    After turning all the privacy stuff off, including cortana (using Windows settings on the GUI)

    I can't change icons in:
    "Choose which folders appear on Start"

    the command line does not work if the iso contains install.esd file, it shows error message.

    Doesn't it state to use that in case:
    Code:
    dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:"x:\sources\install.esd" /Index:1

    Looks to be the wrong syntax. The correct syntax would be the following:
    Code:
    dism /Get-ImageInfo /ImageFile:"x:\sources\install.esd" /Index:1
    Alternatively, you could use PowerShell:
    Code:
    Get-WindowsImage -ImagePath "x:\sources\install.esd" -Index 1
    EDIT: Added PowerShell syntax.

    ok i tested the command line on win7 machine and it didn't work and that's when i remembered that win7 does not support esd extension and i've just tested on win10 machine and it worked.

    Not sure if you checked before posting:

    Only added the /English switch for better readability.

    Yours gives 'Wrong Parameter' error (w/o /English switch):

    it depends on how your bios is configured. If your bios is configured on UEFI, use GPT as option in rufus, if it's legacy/bios, use MBR as option.

    Found out the Rufus' "Partition Scheme" switch to GPT when I select the ISO. It's working now.

    he executed the command line on win10 1607 version so maybe the problem is coming from there, running the command line gives an error from a version lower than 1709 , that's what we can conclude from both of your screens.

    Conclusion: The version i posted works on all 8.1/10 systems. Yours worked in my test on 17133.1 but not on my 14393.
