How i can find out which build is the iso file i download?


If the PDF is not okay, I can post as plain text but it loses all formatting them and will look like rubbish.
It seems to me the PDF is fully ok, very well readable! (y)

BTW. I did not yet read your answer #57 when I wrote mine #59 (and did not yet see a remark that there were extra answers).

I want if it can all the iso can fit into one dvd single layer disc.
Gregory, just out of curiosity, are you really using single-layer DVDs to install Windows? If I may, I'd like to suggest obtaining a $5 16GB flash drive. You can use it over and over and it is WAY more flexible allowing you to do things you simply cannot do with optical media without creating an entirely new disc each time.

Because I never activate any Java scripting in my pdf readers, I am (almost, you never know) sure a pdf can't harm my system!
That's completely different from Office documents.
Well, you can disable code execution in Office documents also. 365 has disabled macros in Office documents from the internet for a few years, and you were always able to disable it yourself. If you're going to disable code execution in one product only, then comparisons are unfair.

Anyway.... the LTSC ISOs are a lot smaller. The original Greek LTSC ISO is 4.69 GB. If you export a single image, you end up with 4.62 GB.

Doh! So close. I think a single layer DVD is 4.7 GB so it may just squeeze in :-)

What is that?

The largest file in the Windows distribution, located in the \sources folder, is named either install.wim or install.esd. The ESD version has a higher compression making the file smaller. However, an install.esd is not servicable, meaning that you cannot manipuate the contents on an install.esd as you could an install.wim. However, when space savings is important, using an install.esd can help.

A quick search on the web will yield many articles showing how to convert this file.

This man is making things so complicated. I don't mean to sound rude but I wish there wasn't a language barrier so I could understand him more.

I'm unfollowing this thread.

Good luck Gregory! And thank you to everyone with more paitence than me with helping him.

Can i convert one install.wid into -> install.esd?
And if i can it will work normally like the orifinal install.wid at the original bootable iso file?

How i can convert it?

Compress WIM to ESD...
Why would you want to do that if you want to install the image !!!! - usually the requirement is to EXPAND the esd to wim - plenty of posts on the Forum to show you how to do that - and then simply install the image via dism.exe /Apply-Image.

Why would you want to do that

Jimbo, the idea was to keep the image size small enough to fit on a single layer DVD (4.7GB).

Can i convert one install.wid into -> install.esd?
And if i can it will work normally like the orifinal install.wid at the original bootable iso file?

Yes, an install.wim can be converted into an install.esd and you can boot from that media and install Windows as normal. You can also perform an upgrade installation as normal.

    The five 8TB drives and three 512GB SSDs are part of a DrivePool using StableBit DrivePool software. The three SSDs are devoted purely to caching for the 8TB drives. All of the important data is stored in triplicate so that I can withstand simultaneous failure of 2 disks.
