1440819 2017-10-18 06:10:00 Why did they call it the Fail Update? It's still the Creator's Update which is code named Redstone 3 -(RS3 for short), the fall part is the time of year - American "lingo" this is Build 1709 (17 =2017 09 = Month it was finalised .) Version 1709 Build 16299.19

Redstone 4, the next version, is already in the hands of insiders, Build 17017.1000 Currently Targeted to be released sometime around March 2018

1440821 2017-10-18 21:21:00 ... There was a "trick" to get the official ISO from Microsoft Servers using the media creation tool.


What's the 'trick' ?

1440823 2017-10-18 22:20:00 What's the 'trick' ? Its not needed now as Speedy posted, the media Creation tool will get the right version.

The Trick was there was a cab file that tricked the media tool into allowing the download to come through as long as you ran a command in powershell or CMD as admin.It was only valid till it went live ( like it has now).

Allowed me to upgrade several Customers computers while I had them here earlier in the week. Would have been a real pain taking them back and then a day or two later a new version downloaded and installed.

when downloading the ISO ,to create a DVD for easier updating to the latest version, on old builds of 10 (anniversary & older)
should I get the "English" or "English International" ?
I need to load it onto a MAC (via parallels) :-0

how big is the update (to download via Winupdates) if the PC allready has the previous Creators 1703 ? is it a minor update or a big update (file size)

Doesn't really matter which, as if you have the other version it will change to what ever is being out in. Normally I use US.

The size ? ? The full ISO for the US is 3.54GB. Downloading Via windows updates - no idea, but seemed to take the sort of time as the full ISO - Personally wasn't really paying much attention. :)

dont need to use the media creation tool, MS offer a direct ISO download . Amounts to the same thing I guess :)

Im just wondering if the fall update is a completely new build from creators (ie 3Gb) , or just a bunch of bundled patches (ie smaller download via windows update)
