I suppose you mean 19041.1288...

After all these years, I still prefer the 'whirrr' sound of the DVD drive when installing OS. Compared to the Recovery USB from the manufacturer, generating your own install media doesn't come with the bloatware. I'm used to manually getting my own drivers so that isn't much of a problem. Activating the digital licence is still wonky if you bought from MS Store (e.g. Home -> Pro Upgrade) which I recently discovered was a known issue in the MS Community but that isn't the fault of the MCT.

Thanks for this, I'm happier with an actual install DVD.

Thanks for tutorial.

When will be finally released LTSC 2021 any news?

Hi there

@krollo

If you create it from UUPDUMP (100% Microsoft) there's absolutely 100% no bloatware !!!
Many users on this site and also on the Eleven Forum (W11) prefer this method and use it often for installing new builds etc.

Then if you still prefer physical media use Rufus etc to create a bootable usb thumb drive -- physical DVD's are (or have gone already) the way of the DODO. Even machines a few years old (especially laptops) rarely come equipped with DVD bays any more. If you have loads of old DVD's - archive them as isos, and for commercial DVD's (movies etc) rip them to isos and play with KODI / VLC etc.

I don't even have any more music CD's -- all ripped to flac (compressed LOSSELESS) years ago.

Cheers

[QUOTE=Brink;2321353]Media Creation Tool (MCT) has now been updated.

The ISO file or USB created by MCT will now install Windows 10 version 21H1 build 19043.1288.


Some basic help, please. I want to use an ISO to do a Repair Install on a system that has Win10 Pro 21H1 build 19043.1348 right now. Is my best choice to wait until there is an ISO that is more current than the -.1348 that is currently installed? Thanks.

why "Windows ISO Downloader" tool by HeiDoc.net haven't release new version since January 2021?
