- it kinda beds-in over time..

... but they are not for ESD upgrade! It's of course up to you not to believe me, you may continue trying the ESD to ISO tool and fail with it as many times as you want to.

However, if you want to make the ISO, download the UUP files (including ESD files belonging to UUP upgrade package) and use the UUP to ISO tool.

It's of course your choice, do as advised to get the job done or ignore the advice and fail.

I never said I didn't believe you. I was just stating that the files that downloaded were .esd files. I tried again with UUP to ISO by using the file location of the downloaded files and got a error about to many files. This is all new to me but hopefully I'll learn by trial and error.

I appreciate you linking the tool. Thanks. Excuse my ignorance, but how does one use it?

Do you have an idea why some of you have such a long install problem?

I'm having all kinds of problems using it. By trial and error and the suggestion given to me by other members I'll get it.

I have to go to the store. When I get back I'm going to try again with a fresh download.

I do not know, I use exactly the same hardware I had when the "old system" still existed, but now the download and installation times are more than double, at the time I had long discussions with insider program members like Jason Howard about this, as I said before, I don't want to discuss or deal with that anymore.

I'm not an expert on this, but I'll tell you what I did, I just downloaded the .zip file, unzipped it, opened the folder and ran the file "run.cmd" and voilà

I remember that the first time I used it, some necessary files were missing, I used this other tool, (that is very similar), and that other tool downloaded and installed the files that I needed.

UUPtoISO now works everytime perfectly for me as well - just don't try to create it before you get the restart screen. I have a link to the ISO which is on the shared area of my onedrive and will expire in a week by which time 10465 or 10466 should be available the end of next week. A clean install is quick and painless

In this build I am experiencing blocks in the Start menu, sometimes when I click on the button, the Start menu does not open, I suspect that it is due to the new options they are adding in the context menus, not only in the tiles but in the shortcuts to the folders that are in the hamburger menu.

Your tool is downoading a lot of other files that has nothing to do with ESD. These files is what makes UUP UUP and not ESD. Yes UUP use a few ESD file...but those files only contain the core OS files, which is far from the full OS, and the ESD tool here at TenForums has no understanding of what to do with the rest of the UUP files.

I have no trouble using Kari's tutorial and the UUP to ISO method -- have been using it without problems since Kari introduced it. I have all the steps in my head, in fact, I have used it so much. Every time, it works. I think when some people introduce another method some users are getting confused and putting the two together somehow. Marty, I am glad to know you are using it without problems, too.
