Well, I took the .ISO for a spin off of USB. And all hell broke loose. Quite literally, at least, on my machine.
First, I got the error that there was no bootable device. Odd, since I made it with Rufus just like I have every other single time. OK, so I hit Enter for it to boot the available boot device.
Next, after a very long boot process, I'm presented with a login on a window running 800 * 600 resolution and asking for the Admin account password. WTF?
So, I rebooted into Macrium, and restored the 17604 install image I had made. And it did the same thing.
Then, I remembered - I had a drive from an old laptop that had Windows 10 also on it in one of my bays - and when I told the system to search for and boot other drives, it found that one first, instead of the one attached to my SATA III port. Which means that it also altered my BIOS settings for boot up priority, replacing the default boot device with this one with Win10 on a small laptop drive. So, I powered the machine off, removed the drive, and set the boot priority again - at which point it would not boot.
Sigh. Another Macrium restore and I am finally back online.
So, I could not verify nor disprove whether the .ISO itself actually works thanks to cereberus for that. However, I just justified adding the 1.5 TB drive that I am using to store my Macrium backup images now, as reinstalling FCU from scratch plus all my apps plus all the ẞeta testing apps *plus* all my settings and whatnot - would have been a much PITA.
I thought that the link was already posted here, but in looking I don't see it, so I must have seen it elsewhere.

John, if this is the link you are referring to, it's the one for Winlib6, which produces an ISO that goes to "What's your keyboard?". Martin used winlib14 and that link is not here on TF anywhere.

I have just uploaded it to onedrive :).
It is in .rar format - 7zip will unrar it.

Nope. That is the one I used to test yesterday which led to my computer uprising against me in arms....
Awesome, thanks!
No apologies needed.
^^^^ This
^^^^ And this
Uh, yeah, maybe, but that had nothing to do with us - and thus they don't count here.
^^^^ And ESPECIALLY THIS!
