The script in UUPtoISO tool creates the ISO label according to information extracted from UUP files. This is the part of the script that labels the ISO:

<Snip>

To put it simple, the OEMRET only means that the ISO is OK to be used in OEM as well as Retail installs / upgrades, and when used for clean install it can be activated with both OEM and Retail licenses. If you do an ISO from a volume licenced OS like Enterprise, the name includes acronym VOL instead:

16257.1000.170728-1630.RS_PRERELEASE_CLIENTENTERPRISE_VOL_X64FRE_EN-US.iso

This acronym for OEM/Retail or Volume licensing affects the functionality of ISO in none whatsoever way.

If the acronym OEMRET extracted from information in UUP files disturbs you geeks, just let me know and I change ISO labelling to something not so mysterious like "W10_ISO_Made_with_TF_UUPtoISO_tool_x64.iso". However, I have deliberately chosen to keep default Windows naming policy, letting ISO images to be labelled with full build, language and bit architecture information.

I had never thought this might become an issue!

Good morning, Kari, and thanks for the explanation.

You can never know what will come up in this group!

That's why Kevlar routers are an option.....

That shows Benton Arkansas

I know, Doug. Good morning, BTW. I'm not worried about showing Benton here in this group; everyone already knows which town I live in, so it would be pointless to hide it here. :)

OK, guys and gals, I'm getting ready for a clean install, and I already have too many recovery partitions, so I need a little advice here, please. Here's my Disk Management.

Attachment 147092

I remember someone saying you can tell which primary partition a recovery partition belongs to, but I can't tell.

C:\ is my Insider partition and D:\ is my RTM partition.

Can anyone tell me which partitions I can eliminate as not necessary?

I do not use any of them

I would say the above with the EFI Partition with Both

If you are doing a clean install in your C:\ drive I don't think it much matters -remove them all.

But I would wait for Kari to respond, as he knows way more than me.

I'll let Keith explain in detail if he wants, but it's a complicated VM that he upgrades is the way he explained it to me.

VM is running on 25% of my CPU and on a USB2 attached disk. That's no excuse for 6 hours though. The previous build just took 4.5 hours and the ESD upgrade method took around 90 mins. That's progress for you 3 to 4 times slower and most of that occurs before the first restart. That has gone from 30-45mins in an ESD upgrade to 3.5 to 5 hours in the last two builds.
