    Win10 Media creator USB made today. What Version on USB?


    Can anyone tell me what version of Win10 is created on the USB I just made?
    I made it for another computer.
    I'm hope it's at least my present Desktop version of Pro. (20H2) Build 19044.630
    Is their anyway to tell by a particular file or...?

    Hopefully someone can answer.

    P.S.
    I did quickly find out that Win10 will no longer fit on a DVD.

    Unsure about an iso or USB device? See tutorial:
    See Full Details about a Windows 10 ISO file or USB

    20H2 is the current major build.

    Further, were you to start downloading the media creation tool again you would see:

    - discussed here at some length- a dual layer DVD is an option.

    I have several early versions of Win-10 on DVD's.
    Then I had to go to DVD/DL disks, as the OS got bigger and bigger.
    Finally the ISO's got too big to even fit on the DL disks.

    Thank God, and a very smart programmer, I can now burn a HUGE ISO onto a Flash Drive. I use Rufus (beta ver.)
    So now, all my OS's go on Flash Drives. DVD's are so.....Yesterday!

    Happy Thanksgiving, Mates!

    Not me! I have several hundred myself, and I'm thinking about turning them into a sculpture or maybe wind chimes.
    I used to send them all over the world, with my custom utilities on them, but, I don't do that any more either.

    Assumed here "F:" drive is your USB Flashstick. Use Powershell to get the info you are after

    >DISM /get-wiminfo /wimfile:"F:\sources\install.esd"

    This will list all contained Editions, if you want further info on a specific edition, use INDEX:x to sepcify which one.

    >DISM /get-wiminfo /wimfile:"F:\sources\install.esd" /index:6

    (6 is usually PRO)
