Windows 10 ISO, How Often Upgraded?
The thread title says it all. When was the last time that the downloadable Windows 10 ISO upgraded?

Have a look at this....................

I see. So the official Windows 10 ISO that you download from Microsoft has not changed since November?
Now how could you possibly have downloaded build 10586.218 on 11/12/205 when the update to build 10586.218 came out just this month and did not exist in November?
You have ISO's somewhere in the build 10586 series - which is also known as version 1511, aka November update - and after installation they get a cumulative update from Windows Update which brings them up to build 10586.218.
And that is why people don't really gain anything from downloading a new ISO as long as they are in the current build series (which is 10586) - because the first cumulative update from Windows Update is going to bring them up to latest minor build anyway - which is now 10586.218.
If you download an ISO file today, and install it without being connected to the internet, and look at the version number after installation, it will be 10586.104. Connect to the internet, pull the cumulative update, and you go to 10586.218 and you will skip 10586.122 and 10586.164.
Install a build 10586 ISO file downloaded in November, install it without being connected to the internet, and look at the version number after installation, it will be 10586.0. Connect to the internet, pull the cumulative update, and you go straight to 10586.218 - skipping all the minor builds in between.
Windows 10 version 1511 ISOs have been updated to include the April 2016 CU - MSDN has them as of 5/23/2016.
I still like to have the latest and greatest. Less chance of something going wrong during setup. IMHO. It could be faster to if the update to current patch is smaller.
