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

Kari said:

The backup has now run 2 hours and 50 minutes, not halfway through:

Using Macrium, I can make a full system image including UEFI system partitions in less than 25 minutes.

Agree and I like native, but admittedly it is a lot slower.

I'm thinking because of the cost of development and code publishing infringement that MS may simply purchase a mirroring software company to incorporate the code into Windows. They did this in the past. Skype is one. Can't think of any others ATM.

Just let me know when you need a DISKPART script, I can make a custom script to you based on how you want to partition the system disk (disk where Windows will be installed). The script I posted is quite basic, to partition a disk where all available space after system partitions will be used for Windows partition. In case you want more data partitions on the same disk, the script needs to be modified.

That is very nice of you, Kari! I'll take you up on the offer. Thank you so much!

I'm thinking of purchasing a larger SSD, although dual booting with my present 120GB SSD is squeaking by ok, I'd like to perhaps triple boot. I could install one OS on the 1TB spinner, but that's a PITA and I don't want to use the spinner for that. I will let you know shortly on that. Here's my setup at present.


Attachment 152294

my first time using this tool, and usually i wouldn't even consider it but i've been having problems for days trying to get windows 10 insider 16353 to install. unfortunately for me unlike most of you this tool did not help as i was met with some nice looking errors

[ERROR] "\Windows\WinSxS\wow64_adobe-flash-for-windows_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.16353.1000_none_866e8108be5375c4\Flash.ocx": blob not found
SHA-1 message digest of missing blob:

ERROR: If this is a delta WIM, use the --ref argument to specify the WIM(s) on which it is based.
ERROR: Exiting with error code 55:
A file resource needed to complete the operation was missing from the WIM.

im hoping somebody on here will be able to help me find a way around this

Hello there @yatznet

Welcome to this forum!

Yes, the problem with your install is that some setup files are missing. We can see this from the error.

You could try the following:

1. Do a full disk cleanup of your C-drive.
   
   1. Open File Explorer, select Properties from context menu while right-mouse-clicking on your C-drive.
   2. In general tab click Disk Cleanup.
   3. In next prompt click Cleanup System Files.
   4. Mark all tick-boxes and apply.
   
   
2. Disable all startup items
   
   1. ​Open Task Manager
   2. In Startup tab, disable all items
   
   
3. Completely empty Windows update Downloads folder
   
   1. Using File Explorer, navigate to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Downloads
   2. Delete all files and folders
   
   
4. Disable all non-Windows services.
   
   1. Open System Configuration
   2. In Services tab, tick the box Hide All Microsoft Services
   3. You are now left with 3rd party services only, untick all of them.
   4. Apply and reboot
   
   
5. When back at desktop Completely disable any Antivirus (IMPORTANT)
6. Run Windows Update normally
7. When System is asking for a reboot use the UUP2ISO tool as described
8. Move ISO to a safe location
9. Reboot and let Windows upgrade
10. If setup failed, try upgrade using the ISO

​
I do the above steps every time I upgrade Windows to next build. Usually these steps has helped me solve upgrade issues.

Once upgrade is done, re-enable AV, all startup items and all services.

Hope this will solve your issue.

i dont get a reboot botton with this build i get a install button instead

Click the Install button, let Windows Update install the upgrade. When done, you will see Restart now button. First then can you make the ISO.

it never gets that far i get hit " Windows 10 Insider Preview 16353.1000 (rs_prerelease) - Error 0xc0000005" after 32% thats why i was looking at alternative ways of installings it

Kari, don't mean to intrude on your post. For the OP's clarification....

When you see the Restart now button, stop right there and make your ISO at that point. Do not click Restart now
until the ISO is complete. When ISO is complete, then click Restart now.

but i dont get to that point it fails before the restart button appears i've tried resetting windows update conponents but that didn't help and as you said i cant make a iso from when i says install i have to wait till it says restart. this now has me wondering what other options there are for me to get this update, can i use someone elses iso or would my system reject that? and if i can could someone link me to theres please

Hi yatznet

are you really after RedStone 4 preview already, as this build is part of the skip ahead releases UUP to ISO might not even work, but if you want to play with build 16353 you are alpha testing not beta.
so be prepared for a lot more problems than the normal RS3 releases.

why not install build 16251 (RS3) from this link if you are an insider.
Download Windows 10 Insider Preview Advanced

See current state of builds at BUILDFEED site

Then wait till after the official release of Fall creators update to start playing with the next step, which will be the RS4 releases.
