    It's outdated now anyway, as 1803 was just released. It's still usable though. You'll just have to install and then do a major update to the latest build.
    And hope. 387 people not complaining it doesn't have a keylogger must be a good sign.


    I wonder if more than 387 people upgraded using official MS software.

    That's a good point Ix07.
    Earlier this year one of my friends had purchased Microsoft Office Home & Student 2016 for an unbelievable price of $29.95 from a company that includes selling Microsoft products: in his case it was via download: but I suspect even if an install disc was available he still would have been up against this following scenario.
    --- The Microsoft Office Home & Student 2016 ran well but about 6 weeks ago he did a fresh install of his Windows 10. Upon completion he attempted to re-install his product. However he couldn't do so because there wasn't any support from Microsoft. He tried to re-download it from the company he got it from but that didn't happen for whatever reason. He was going to order another Microsoft Office Home & Student 2016 but he called me first. I'm not familiar with working with those companies that do that, but I recommended he purchase it through Microsoft instead. Even though it cost $149.xx, to me it's worth it because I expect at least 10 years of usage on products like that and for an average of $15.00 a year, that's a pretty good ROI. That company also sells OS's via download but I suspect the same issue could be an issue: when it's time to create up-to-date install media, I wonder if the same possibility is there: will Microsoft recognize the product key in use by that company?

    Microsoft DVD or one you created? I ask because it appears Microsoft supplies read only thumb drives now.

    Ok, thanks, was just curious. I'm guessing it was only Home and Pro and thus would fit on a standard DVD?

    Yea because they had reduced the number of SKUs at launch, which they now appear to have increased again

    I like the current setup better. In the past I had a separate ISO for Enterprise, and another for Education, then one for Home Pro, etc, etc. Now its just two ISO's, one for all the Consumer Editions and one for all the Business VL Editions. I only ever use thumb drives for install media anyway.
