    Best is to install non N versions (it's not a feature but enforced by EU laws) and to install a supported version, i always go for the latest official release and i prefer legit use, so for me it's 15063 aka 1703 Pro, activated by a Digital License.

    damn o_O
    the biggest font size is 7 - It's a pity that it does not go any bigger
    People like you can help nobody -

    BTW: If you take 7 for your Q - then I suggest that in future we use all 1 for our answers
    we can also use white font on white background

    Is there really any need to download 1703 July refreshed ISO ?
    Lets assume you have downloaded it and what will happen if a new cumulative update will be released ?
    You will integrate the new cumulative update to the July updated iso and the iso will be bloated in size
    and you will have to apply resetbase option for reducing size and it will last at least 1 hour to complete (for my computer nearly 1,5 hours)

    Isn't it better to integrate Flash , Cumulative and Servicing stack updates to the original 1703 March iso in a shorter time and the same result ?

    i don't see the point of downloading 1703 july version or any ISO with integrating iso cause these updates will be downloaded and installed later through WU anyway.
    So from my point of view, these ISO with integrated updates will be interesting to use only if you have an old machine as CPU and RAM are balanced for update procedure which leads to a slowdown of the machine and you won't be able to use it correctly until procedure ends completely.

    In that case, you can indeed use the 1703 march version to integrate all new updates using @abbodi1406 script and this way as you said the ISO size will be reduced as the script uses a command line that cleans the image by compressing system files, if i'm correct.

    On the other hand, if you have a powerful machine, i don't see the point of using these ISO with integrated updates because as i said these updates will be installed anyway through WU later and in that case you won't be concerned by any slowdown, you will be able to use the machine correctly while these updates are downloaded and installed on the system.

    Running /resetbase command when using W10UI script will remove old versions of system files. Only if you run resetbase command without modifying DisableResetBase registry key (which is what the script does) it'll compress system files (takes more time than removing)

    And it (resetbase) will cripple the resetpc option, just use 15063.0 wims to integrate the 4 updates into, and put them in the latest iso.

    this will happen only if full resetbase is used but if you set the script to use only cleanup system image, resetpc will succeed. Is it right ?
    that's what you told me the other day.

    nonsense 'the second is OEMRET'
    the second one is FPP and not OEM
    OEM's usual comming from Technet 'Single Image' or the OEM Partner Programm

    EDIT:
    FPP = Full Packed Pakage

    RET is not channel
    RET is usual used for the first offiial Retail release, somtimes also used for Milestone
    eg TH1, TH2, RS1, RS2

    channels are
    FPP
    VOL
    CCP
    CCPVOL
    OEM
    EVL
    etc

    EDIT
    FRE is a spetial channel meaning - > the License key determines which Product / which Channel is installed

    the second (multi) is retail version
    you can easily check to know which version it is after the install by typing this command :

    slmgr /dlv

    you will see it is retail version.

    slmgr /dlv - is not interested
    It shows more or less always nonsense (for the multy) coz all is retail

    MULTI is FRE (see the DVD lable)
    if you use a oem key -> OEM retail is installed
    if you use a FPP key -> FPP retail is installed
    if you use a CCP key -> CCP retail is installed
    in case MULTI support this kind of License key

    EDIT
    RTL (retail) says nothing at all about the channel

    And none of your answers help the OP in any way.

    The Multiple Editions iso's accept, all keys, MSDM and HWID and is Home + Pro (+N for the N iso's).

    i know that multi isos accept all license keys, i just wanted to say that retail version is the one that is installed by default for multi (home + pro).
