After a machine got a HWID for any edition, it will automatically re-activate on any fresh install of that edition (no matter what build) on that machine. Only Hardware changes can trigger deactivation. The just released ISOs contain the ProWork SKU now .
Very good point, but let's just say that the ISOs that contain this ProWork SKU weren't released yet, how could i get a stable (non insider) version of ProWork knowing that i have a HWID and on insider preview ring 16281 to be exact?
Install Pro and license switch to ProWork or convert a mounted WIM file. A ProWork install can be upgraded with the Pro ISO. As said only the Techbench or the MVS ISOs will contain ProWork and ProEdu. The ESDs (which are used by MCT) do not contain it.
Hi, I downloaded latest version of W10 from post #2 of this thread, but once installed, it tells that the current system version is = Windows 10 x 1803 build 17134.1 But, the link contains, as I understand, the 1804-180410 version (17134.1.180410-1804.rs4). Details: -> Windows 10 Pro x64 (es-es) [VL] I'm wrong with something? Thanks!
The 1804 is the date or time of creation, 17134.1 = 1803 (prolly some MSFT intern/employee having fun with code )
@abbodi1406 , I did try using strings at first, but it's not working for me (no output at all). That's why I decided to publish the other method.
An ISO built from ESD has a different size as the ISO downloaded using MCT, the main difference being the size of "install.esd" from "sources" folder. Are they actually the same thing?
MCT converted iso's have install.esd, when you select "create ISO with install.esd" using @abbodi1406 ESD>ISO tool, it also will have an install.esd too, when you select "Create ISO with install.wim, it will contain a wim, official MVS/VLSC iso's will contain install.wim. Install.esd is a compressed version of install.wim, approx. 30% less in size.
The ISO built from ESD using "Create Full ISO with Compressed install.esd" and the ISO downloaded using MCT both have "install.esd". But why are they different?
wimlib has better compression ration than dism nevertheless, i think MCT only delete the first 3 indexes after extraction/creating boot.wim
I can't find it. There was a thread about using MCT before 1803. There was a script to run with it that added other feature choices to what ISO you'd get such as an ISO with both x32 and x64 on it. You may have been able to select various install choices for Pro, Home, Edu, whatever. I forget. Does anyone recall that thread and how to use the script with MCT? Maybe it's been updated for 1803. I'm looking to get an ISO for Pro with both x32 and x64 on it. Thank you Edit: Never mind, the MCT1803 someone posted a link to allows me to choose both x32 and x64 on one ISO.
The MCT is so slow. I checked Heidoc and ad-guard for 1803 but they don't allow you to choose x32 and x64 on one ISO, just one or the other. There are links in this thread for ISOs that include all editions. Are those from MSDN? The ISOs in this thread require one ISO for all editions in x32 and one ISO for all editions in x64 except workstation. Does the x32/x64 combo disc from MCT NOT include all editions? I just need Pro VL x64 and x32 but the more I can squeeze into one ISO the better. Thank you
Download the 2 ESD's from the second post of this thread and put them next to @abbodi1406's ESD>ISO v37 script and run it, it will ask for dual architecture iso creation, with options.
