You can still join and use the link to get the ISO in post 490.. You will need a decryptor to c convert it.

The CryptoKey from \$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\windlp.state.xml from a 14393 x64 en_GB Professional build with a decrypted install.esd for 15063 is as follows:

The esd posted was a tad different than the one I used
rs2_release_CLIENTPRO_RET_x64fre
Mine did not have the released clientcombined ??
This ESD is all UUW files so the right tool has to be used.
According to MS, W10 is the "most secure version of Windows ever".
Allegedly, the Avecto report claims that W8.1 had less reported vulnerabilities.
I suspect that:
- Most of the W10 effort was expended "replacing" WinRT with UWP.
- The rest of the code only received minor rewrites
Studies (for many years) have consistently shown that running as a "Standard" user will mitigate most malware threats, regardless of OS architecture.
MS claims about Windows security improvements seem to be mostly hype (i.e. only some of the statements can be objectively proven).
I'm still waiting for "XP Armageddon".
Adding more Apps and Services, especially ones that require 24/7 Internet access, can't make a PC more secure.
With the W8 Series and W10, MS made its "own life" more difficult, because now it has to maintain Win32 and WinRT/UWP.
As for Security:
- If a user is not making multiple regular backups of their irreplaceable data, they are asking for trouble
- Regardless of the OS, constantly logging in, and running software, with full Administrator powers is a bad idea (even for experts)
- Security patches must be applied regularly
