    I understand although @adguard posted all the consumer and business links in esd, there is also an option for the Media Creation Tool if you only need consumer. . .

    The go to tool for this.
    Yes, but then you could simply create the complete aio directly from uup dump or use the ISO from ESD>ISO to create the missing stuff, or just export all indexes into a new wim, there are plenty of options to use.

    But this is all widely known info, and don't forget the official MVS ISOs.

    Honestly, the only thing that kinda sucks about ESD-to-ISO converters is that they can’t reproduce the metadata MCT creates. No one cares about that detail anyway… well, no one except me. I’m probably just a obsessive nutcase who insists on things being done precisely the Microsoft way.

    Maybe better to use centrally distributed and verifable MVS/VLSC/Techbench ISOs?

    Hi, Enthousiast.
    Do you know if Microsoft makes these ISOs available once a month? I have been downloading it here on the forum thanks to friends like you who make the ISO and SVF files available, but Microsoft has released many fixes over the last few days and this has meant that these releases are not "feasible" in this way, so I have been downloading the ESD files when available and so I always have an ISO of the most current build of Windows 11 possible. In fact, I have been using Win 11 Boot And Upgrade FiX KiT v6.1f2 in both cases, but I had a specific case where I had problems with an ISO (made from the ESD file) at a certain time giving errors in a specific file causing an installation error. I didn't have the opportunity to test again, because when I created a new ISO (from an MVS/VLSC/Techbench ISO) I noticed that I didn't have this specific problem. The case is that the machine where I was trying to install had a problem with the onboard network card when the cable was connected, and I came to the conclusion that this was what was preventing the installation.

    Every 3rd tuesday of the month.

    That means, next tuesday new MVS ISOs will appear:)

    You can always update ISOs yourself.

    Both seem to be monthly but the esd is a bit earlier released.
