Hello, I have downloaded the ESD file from the windowsupdate download link found in this post. Pardon me, I am not sure how exactly I am suppose check the hash and verify that with the file what I am downloading. Little help would be appreciated. Googling shows few commands on Powershell for getting the hash of the file that is downloaded to my Hard Disc. Here they are, Code: E:\Download\Win11_ESD\Win11_22H2_Retail_Final_Sep22>certutil -hashfile 22621.382.220806-0833.ni_release_svc_refresh_clientconsumer_ret_x64fre_en-us_59cc2585de0653bd8b4ee08e2350a5b2a27ebc31.esd MD5 MD5 hash of 22621.382.220806-0833.ni_release_svc_refresh_clientconsumer_ret_x64fre_en-us_59cc2585de0653bd8b4ee08e2350a5b2a27ebc31.esd: 9bf2967d1139d9eee2eb615908ca06e1 CertUtil: -hashfile command completed successfully.

Hello, Thank you for your replies !! No, my file on disc was not matching with those hash. I have downloaded the file again on a different disc, and this time around, decrypting (ESD to ISO) worked properly. Thanks again.

Can anyone explain what is going on with the Windows Builds there are so many versions now. I used to download the ESD files via WZT Techbench. (still don't know the full differences between client consumer and client business) Since 22H2 ESD is not longer available on ZWT Techbench (I know the links to ESD have been posted in this thread). My questions are: 1. what are the real differences between Client consumer and Client business in ESD's? 2. Why since 22H2 have windows 11 ESD been shared less and its now iso files i see on more sites?
Client Consumer contains: Code: Client Consumer Retail ISO Edition List: Windows 11 Home Windows 11 Home N Windows 11 Home Single Language Windows 11 Education Windows 11 Education N Windows 11 Pro Windows 11 Pro N And is OEMRET. The Client Business contains: Code: Client Business Volume ISO Edition List: Windows 11 Education Windows 11 Education N Windows 11 Enterprise Windows 11 Enterprise N Windows 11 Pro Windows 11 Pro N And is Volume. There are 3 ESD builds released for 22H2: - 22621.1 (preview) - 22621.382 (initial first release) - 22621.525 (according to MSFT now the official first release). These builds are also available on ISO (22621.525 now also available on installation assistant and MCT).
Thanks for the response, so i use enterprise and if i had to pick between business and consumer there would be no real difference ? I know business is Volume but feature wise / activation wise etc they are identical right ? Or can only the business edition be activated via kms ? Like is we compare Client Consumer Retail ISO Edition: Windows 11 Education with Client Business ISO: Windows 11 Enterprise what is the actual difference. [/QUOTE] Yep im using 22621.525 but im unsure why on ZWT Techbench they only provide iso now and not ESD when ESDs are available?
We are not related to WZT, so best to ask on their platforms. Enterprise is only present on the business ESD/ISO, all properly coded activation tools can handle both, the consumer and business SKUs.
I found it very easy to download the business and consumer .esd files, but the files for ARM architecture were extremely difficult - it took around ten tries for each file, with downloads repeatedly failing part way through. I am certain that this was a problem at Microsoft's end because all of my PCs are maintained in good condition, both hardware and software.
Hey guys. I hope its the right thread but i have to inform you bout sth. uupdump.net is having troubles at the moment. could you please fix that? ;]
