No ESD to be found am afraid. I looked all over and not seeing it
I'm not a friend of long quotes, but as this might benefit our members, I'll quote this post from ESD to ISO tutorial thread here in its entire length:
Rats, downloaded just fine, I made ISO but there was error during installation, downloading again. Gonna make bootable USB in case this one doesn't work out again.
Second chance to see UUP in action. Many cabinet files and ESDs in the \windows\SoftwareDistribution\Downloads folder, not all related to Professional - the version being upgraded - and not all EN-GB.
The directory listing: list1.txt
Circa 2.33GB download (x86) This appears to all intents and purposes to be a multipart ESD, similar to .swm multipart .wim files:
Main Object of interest is 09/01/2017 18:58 327,430,102 Professional_en-gb.esd
In 7-Zip this may be expanded to:
With the Wim index info file [1].xml: [1].xml.txt indicating the 3 images as being:
1) Windows Setup Media
2) Windows PE/Windows Recovery Environment
3) Windows Professional EN_GB /Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview
Altogether a lot larger than the ~327MB ESD file on disk
This seems to be a condensation of several of the downloaded ESD files, in a similar fashion to a multipart .SWM
WindowsSetupBox.exe seems to have been restyled as WindowsUpgradeBox.exe in this UUP iteration.
Some particularly interesting change.s to existing issues buried in that list
1) HOME users can extend active hours to 18 now
2) Metered connection even for ethernet
3) Ability to stop forced driver updates (except Home)
