Windows 10 Pro version 1809 fresh install related questions
Hi, I have a few general questions I want to ask about:
1) Windows 1809 will be released soon and I want to know when the Windows 10 Media Creatie Tool will contain this update. Is it available to download on the same day as the 1809 update is released?
Please keep in mind that I'm using a Dutch/Belgian version so there might be a time-gap.
2) I want to do fresh install with Windows 10 Media Creatie Tool on an USB stick and I want to know what is best during the install. Do I first create an offline account, update and tweak Windows the way I want it, install Drivers and Software and then switch to a Microsoft Account, or is it better to do it right from the start, I mean during the install of 1809?
3) Matter of fact I already used the Windows 10 Media Creatie Tool twice as of late.
One time I installed Windows from an ISO and yesterday I made one on an USB and re-installed again to test things out. I followed the instructions given in the link below to "Clean Install Windows 10" and both installments worked perfectly.

There' one thing that bugs me a bit, namely, in this tutorial, or the comment section below a tip was given to delete all the partitions (except your Data partition) and so I deleted Windows, System Reserved and Factory Image, because I assumed all of them would be re-created during my fresh install. Alas my Factory Image didn't make it. Did I make a wrong choice here, or is this nothing to worry about?
I still have an Acronis Image of it so I can always put it back if I want to. As I bought a 16gb USB stick yesterday my local computer shop guy said it was alright. But to be absolutely sure I want to check with the knowledgeable crowd here at Tenforums.
4) Is it possible or safe to unplug my Internet/Network cable during the installation of Windows?
The reason I ask is because when do a fresh install Windows automatically updates a few Drivers, and I would like to update those myself after the installation of Windwos.
Well, I'm not sure Windows updates those Drivers during the installation or directly after Windows is installed. Either way I have no control over it. I want to be able to update my Graphics Driver (Nvidia) as quickly as possible after the Windows installation, so Windows doesn't have a chance to do it. I have an offline version of my Graphics Driver ready, so I could unmplug my Internet cable just after Windows installation is finished, but if Windows already updates my Drivers during the installation I'm too late. What would be the best way to remediate this?
PS I posed 4 questions so I think it would be best to add a number, ranging from to 1 to 4, depending on which question you want to answer to avoid any confusion.
Thanks in advance, regards Carlo.
