Thanks for the update, good to know it works.
Something important I want to say before any comments from those members of ours willing to split a hair whenever possible (yes, a global big forum like Ten Forums, we have members like that, too!):
Script / batch file is not mine, real credits shown in title bar when you launch the batch. I have only done some minor edits to make it as easy to use as possible, and written these instructions.

Just a hunch on my part. MS ripped out a reasonably good chunk of telemetry code they no longer needed. Other code cleaning, too, I'm sure. Just a hunch......WOW, this new build converted to ISO is significantly smaller than the previous one (15007 - 4.17GB vs 15014 - 3.80GB). That is HUGE! A lot of cleanup has happened.
Thanks Kari for the reminder about secureboot, I tend to forget that. Probably because I have not used Hyper-V for a while.
Another oddity, an interesting fact is that ISO created from UUP files is over 200 MB smaller than one created from ESD (comparing EN-GB 15014 PRO images).
Both images work perfectly, installing Windows 10 without a tiniest difference.
I wonder if this has to do with the UUP converter re-compressing a lot more files with better compression settings than the ESD counterpart?
UUP converter, re-compress a lot of .cab files to .esd before moving on.
I think we should open up the two ISOs and do a file to file comparison to see what is different. Also taking a look inside the .wim could be a good idea. I bet some .cab files are smaller on the UUP version. Or maybe the .wim got better compression too?
I would do that, but I don't have any copy of the latest ISO converted using .ESD download, I don't even have the .ESD file, only have the UUP version.
