Just curious; what size is the iso made from esd files? Anyone?

Here ya go...



Made from install.esd from WU..... (WIM Format)

Edwin said:

Hmmm..., Mines only 2.92GB???
Thanks guys.

That's the ESD format, more compressed. Mine is WIM format, just like what MS would post. You must have used option 2 not 1 when you ran ESDtoISO batch file.

I think you're right.

There was a big discussion a while back, think on 10061, with @Kari about sizes and hashes. I sent @Brink a message on the tut about the formats. ESD format cannot be used to run any DISM work, only WIM format. He may a note in his tut. The size difference is < 1G and time difference is only about 3-4 minutes. Runs a bit quicker on installs from WIM format, less decompression work.

On this Build the Mail app has the ability to let you personalize the background with a picture. At least I just noticed/found out, I don't know if it was present on other builds, please inform me if it was, there is just so much to discover.:)

Yes, that has been available for awhile. I don't remember which build introduced it.

Thanks, I'm still clicking-right clicking-modifying-personalizing-discovering-having fun-getting frustrated-feeling satisfied with this OS-
I haven't had so much fun since I used to Distro Hop with Linux.
