Thanks again @Superfly! The list as embedded Excel sheet at the end of the tutorial, with direct download links.

You're welcome

I tried :)

LOL... I often get that...no worries - thanx is enough for me :)

Wow. Color me impressed. It took my system 4 minutes to create the ISO for a US 64-build build 10074 ESD.

You have a fast system! It takes 6.5 minutes for me for a WIM based ISO, and 3.5 minutes for an ESD based, UK English and Finnish ESD files.

Yup! Very fast Kari.. thanks again!

Thanks for the link to the .esd file Kari and for the Tutorial on converting it to an .iso. Everything went smoothly and I am now running W10 Build 10074 as an upgrade from W8.1 Pro. I usually do a clean install, but was curious to see how an upgrade would work. So far so good!

You are welcome LittleJay :).

So far have you noticed if anything is missing, I mean an installed app or things like that? Or could the upgrade keep everything?

So far the only thing I lost was Media Center. But I expected that as it has been the case every time I've upgraded from 8.1 Pro to the newest W10 build. Will let you know if I spot anything that no longer works, but so far so good!

Just a FYI that the Windows 10 Insider Preview build 10074 ISO file is available for download by Microsoft now. :)
