UUP to ISO - Create Bootable ISO from Windows 10 Build Upgrade Files  

I suspect that ARM devices will start to gain some traction if the ARM version(s) of Windows 10 provide enough power to do things in a device that also has great battery longevity, as Cereberus alluded to above. I'm more interested in whether this can be actually put on existing ARM devices, such as tablets and high end phones. With 128 GB internal storage, for example, and the dual-boot partitions of my current phone, Pixel 2 XL, I would love to find some working documentation on attempting to install this on my phone. It packs a wallop in terms of processing power and battery life as it is, and just having the bragging rights to say I installed it on a phone and it was working would be awesome, particularly as I could test out features like tablet mode more thoroughly.

Alas, it's probably not much more than a wet dream at this point.

And I agree with Cereberus - you should not feel any residual guilt over the ARM version not being able to be compiled into an ISO - as Rafael pointed out, the fix is relatively easy in the code.

Not sure what you guys are referring to. ARM64 hardware is around the corner and users need the ability to generate ISOs from UUP ESD files for reinstalls, etc. Just add the hack and re-release for now.

What I was referring to is that I have overlooked the fact that ARM ISO can't be made with this tool. The fix is easy, but I should have noticed it earlier.

Anyway, as Windows Insider team has made it pretty clear, making a Fast Ring ISO is not supported, nor is a clean install with a Fast Ring build. This tool is unofficial, not supported in any way by Microsoft or Windows Insider team.

Use of any methof to create an unsupported ISO is down to you, your own risk.

At the moment, the tool in this tutorial will create x86 and x64 ISO images.

Kari, is there a timeline for this bug fix/re-release? Everything else you said is off-topic.

I am sorry that you feel I have been off topic. I was trying to be polite and take responsibility, feeling bad that I had not checked if the tool works with ARM upgrade files. Apparently trying to be polite is not a good thing.

No, I do not have any timeline. If you have any complaints about script not creating ARM ISO images, please feel free to contact the creators of the script at My Digital Life.

You might have personal reasons unknown to me why you want to diss this tool or my work for it, I don't know. Anyway, below is something for you to make ARM ISO images. I've edited the script, to allow creating of ARM64 ISO image.

Not knowing your level of Windows knowledge, here are the simple instructions:

Download the ZIP archive containing an edited script from my OneDrive, unblock it by right clicking the downloaded file and selecting Properties, then at the the bottom pane selecting Unblock and clicking OK.

When unblocked, extract the ZIP archive by right clicking it and selecting Extract all. When extracted, select Convert-UUP.cmd file in new folder and run it to create ARM ISO image.

You just offered me a fix, that I provided you, one page ago. What is wrong with you?

I'll reach out to adguard and friends to get a fix in, don't worry about it.

I am doing my best to assist my fellow TF members. I am sure you have a good reason to diss that fact. Honestly, I had never known the tool does not work with ARM upgrade files. I am doing my best to fix that, apparently it is not enough to you.

Would you be happy if it was mentioned that the ARM fix was made by you? I'm looking for solutions that work, not personal fame, I have nothing against mentioning that the fix was made possible only because of your expertise.

Somewhat surprised,

Kari

I think we're having some language difficulties here.

• I don't know you
• I don't care about you or your feelings
• I'm not "dissing" anyone, everyone here is great
• I'm just reporting a bug
• I provided a fix for ARM64 ISO generation
• I hope this gets packaged into UUPtoISO_Setup.exe soon (schedule?)

Hope that helps.

Yes, I will repack the tool, make new installer as soon as possible. The fix you provided, a simple change in one line of code, now makes it possible to make ISO images for x86, x64 and ARM.

I still can't give you any timeline, I have real life, too. In the meantime I would ask ARM users to see this post and download updated script to create ISO images: UUP to ISO - Create Bootable ISO from Windows 10 Build Upgrade Files - Page 104 - Installation Upgrade Tutorials

I have added this notice to beginning of the tutorial:

   Note

Users with ARM devices, please see this post: UUP to ISO - Create Bootable ISO from Windows 10 Build Upgrade Files - Page 104 - Installation Upgrade Tutorials

Please notice that the fault in script and change in it to allow ARM ISO images to be created is found and made by our fellow TF member @WithinRafael. I cannot take any credits for it.
