@Brink: and wouldn't you know it? My desktop Insider Preview (Enterprise version) motherboard died earlier this week, just finished a mobo replacement with a snazzy new NVMe Samsung 951 SSD, and now I can't install because I can't grab the #@$! ISO file! I have to laugh, once I finish crying. Maybe you can remind me? ;-)

Hi Shawn,
Created ISO memory sticks for 2 PCs as a back up over the weekend.
WIN 10 Pro 1703.
On both I saw a message to the effect that the ISO creation tool was not an approved MS Store App ( or words to that effect) but it installed anyway?? This surely is a bug?
Next, on one of the PCs someone had previously followed the routine, but instead of setting the ISO to be created on a memory stick, it was set to create it in a folder on the PCs HDD. I did not pay enough attention and ended up doing the same on that PC.
What is the way out short of redoing the ISO creation from scratch?
Best
Geoff
Shawn I unfortunately spat the dummy last week re an OEM copy I bought - I wasted on the small laptop by installing it on a new drive forgetting I had already "signed up" for the 10 on that laptop when it was being offered way back.
Anyway that is a long story what I want to do now is to make my main desktop a dual boot and of course the OEM I bought is now void.
My desky has Home Premium as an original OEM install and it was not signed up way back so my only course now is to buy another 10 OEM or can I use the ISO to load it onto the machine using that original key?? Then make the dual boot using a Home 7 ISO for the prepared partition using the original key for it?.
I think I might be wishful thinking but I thought I would ask you anyway as I know you would know straight away.
Thanks
John
John,
If you had ever upgraded with the free Windows 10 offer using the original key on that PC, you might be worth a try to see if you may still be able to activate W10 with the key.
However, unless you had linked your digital license (key) on the PC with your Microsoft account, you may not be able to.
Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16193 ISO file available for download in Option Three. :)
