I'm sorry, but I have a new problem.

I got the files in the places you write in the tutorial, and using the downloaded program to change ESD to an bootable ISO works fine. But .... when trying to install from this new .ISO I ran into missing files in the install process!! The original downloaded file from Microsoft is 4.100.497.408 bytes, and the ISO-file created is 3.981.209.600 bytes. As I'm from Denmark, I choose Danish keyboard layout and Danish currency aso in the install process. Maybe something is missing, when selecting something else than English?

If you are using USB, try burning the ISO to DVD (use imgburn program). I had the same problem. Although I did not try Re-making the USB installer, the DVD installer worked well in just one go. It's probably just a corrupted USB but you can try again. If you want to try burning the ISO, be sure to do it at low speed (x8) to avoid errors.

+1.

To be sure I tested now with 9860 x64 EN-US ISO created as told in this tutorial, burned to USB, selecting formats: Denmark, keyboard: Danish. No issues.

Tried one more time, same thing happend, some files are missing and install abort.
Burned the image to a dvd DL to try this way. Again install aborted with the same error of missing files. The original downloaded .ISO do work:
Windows10TechnicalPreview-x64-EN-US.iso 4.100.497.408 bytes created 01-Oct-2014

Try to create a new ISO, it might be your ISO is somewhat corrupted. I cannot reproduce your issue, having no problems. I have repeated the process several times now, creating a new ISO of build 9860 as told in this tutorial and I cannot get it fail.

Yep, now it works. A new ISO, but the new ISO is still smaller than the original downloaded (as written earlier). I don't care though as it is now working :)

Thank you for being patient with me :)

OK geeks, the results of all day extensive but still only preliminary testing. Your results, comments and opinions are highly valuated :).

• Windows 8.1 in-place upgraded to Windows 10 TP Build 9841:
  
  • C:\RecoveryImage folder has the build 9841 install.wim file after upgrade to Windows 10 TP
  • When this setup is further upgraded to Build 9860, the C:\RecoveryImage folder has the build 9860 install.wim file after upgrade
  
  
• Clean install of Windows 10 TP Build 9841
  
  • C:\RecoveryImage folder has the build 9841 install.esd file
  • When this setup is further upgraded to Build 9860, the C:\RecoveryImage folder has the build 9860 install.esd file after the upgrade

Just one more data point: I did an in-place upgrade of Windows 7 Home Premium to 9841, and an in-place upgrade of 9841 to 9860. I had the Install.wim in c:\RecoveryImage. The ESDtoIso tool had no trouble making an iso file from it.
