    This will take time...

    Will do the upgrade test but I got a BSOD just now on my host (or GSOD as it's now green in 15002). Had simply too much going on, streaming TV from my native Finland over Miracast on TV, two other displays full with activity like one W10 VM upgrading through WU, this W8.1 upgrading to W10 on another VM, 10+ tabs open in Edge and so on.

    Slowly putting pieces back together after restart, have to prioritize. W8.1 upgrade to 10 is not on Top 5 priorities list at the moment but will do it later tonight (it's 2 minutes past midnight here but luckily I'm in a really bad insomnia cycle ).

    OK, seems that there's no need for any additional steps with boot.wim when making ISO from UUP, the UUP to ISO method (tutorial) works perfectly.

    Have done some extensive testing last night and today, an ISO can easily be made either as told in this tutorial if you have edited registry to get ESD upgrade, or as told in UUP to ISO tutorial if you have UUP enabled as is default nowadays.

    PLEASE NOTICE:

    The tool and the method in this tutorial both work without issues with ESD file of the latest Insider Build 15014 released earlier today.

    Those of you geeks preferring ESD, remember that even if you got ESD upgrade last time, installing new build like 15019 last week has reset the registry and re-enabled UUP, regardless if you upgraded to it or clean installed it.

    It looks that we will get build 15025 later today. If you want to get it as ESD upgrade, don't forget to edit the registry again disabling UUP. See instructions in this post.

    There's a fair chance we will get a new Insider build today or tomorrow. If you want to get it as a UUP upgrade you are ready to go, there's nothing you have to do.

    However, if you want to get the next build as ESD upgrade you have to remember to disable UUP now. Instructions and downloadable registry files can be found in this post.

    Keep on your mind that UUP registry settings will always reset to UUP enabled / ESD disabled when you upgrade, and are set to UUP enabled / ESD disabled after a clean install. This means that even if you disabled UUP and got build 15031 as an ESD upgrade, your registry was reset when you upgraded and is again set to enable UUP.

    If you do not edit registry again leaving it as it is, you will get the next build as UUP upgrade.

    PLEASE NOTICE:

    It seems that Microsoft has killed the ESD upgrade method. Even if you have UUP disabled / ESD enabled, build 15042 upgrade does not contain install.esd file. Instead the upgrade files can be found in folder
    C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\d00630587706295696417aabf4685ed4.

    Notice that the folder name (hexadecimal string) will be something different in next build upgrades.

    You don't have to re-enable UUP in registry if you have already downloaded upgrade. As long as you have not restarted to perform the upgrade itself, ISO image can be done from files in above mentioned folder as told in UUP to ISO tutorial: UUP to ISO - Create Bootable ISO from Windows 10 Build Upgrade Files

    PLEASE NOTICE:

    Apparently I was wrong saying after last build upgrade (15042) that ESD to ISO method seems to be dead. It is working again, build 15046 upgrade includes a normal install.esd file if UUP has been disabled in registry settings. This time it's UUP to ISO method that does not work; build 15046 upgrade using UUP method is OK and works as it should but UUP to ISO produces an error when writing ISO image.

    In case you want an ISO and upgrade is not yet downloaded on your PC, edit the registry to disable UUP as told in this post.

    If the upgrade has been downloaded but you have not started the upgrade process yet (not clicked Restart now), you can remove the UUP upgrade files from your PC using Disk Clean-Up, edit registry to disable UUP, restart and let your PC download ESD upgrade instead. Instructions in this post.

    In case you have upgraded already and want an ISO image, the only option is to restore previous build, edit registry, remove UUP files as told above and start from scratch letting your previous build to download ESD upgrade.
