Please post a screenshot of your D:\sources folder showing its contents with their file extensions visible.

Brink,

At Step 7, "Version: The part after 10.0 will be the first part of the Windows 11 build number. For example: build 22000.100"
do consider adding a cross reference to
Find Windows 11 Version Number - ElevenForumTutorials
so that people can look up the Version number that matches the Build number they have discovered.

All the best,
Denis

Quite a beginner to these things, is this screenshot good?

Safwan27,

Try the following sequence of commands:

Code:

D:
cd \sources
dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:install.esd

Your diagram is fine.
After you've run NavyLCdr's test, go back to your sources folder in File explorer.
Just to prove you have access, copy one of the files [it doesn't matter which, choose a small one just for convenience] to any old folder you like. You can delete the copy straightaway, the test was just to demonstrate your access.

Best of luck,
Denis

Safwan27,

Try the following sequence of commands:

Code:

I did the following command for about 3 times, and restarted after each time

Code:

sfc /scannow

and somehow the following sequence of commands works.

Thank you, Try3 and NavyLCDR for all the help.

7 You will now see all details of the selected index number (edition) for this Windows 11 ISO or USB. (see screenshots below)

Edition: This will be for the Windows 11 Home, Pro, Education, or Enterprise edition. The Pro ISO or USB can be used to install either the Home or Pro edition, and the digital license or product key determines if Pro of Home is installed during Windows Setup.

Architecture: This will be for a x64 (64-bit) or arm64 system type.

Language: This will be the default display language (ex: "en-us") used to install Windows 11 with.

Version: The part after 10.0 will be the first part of the Windows 11 build number. For example: build 22000.100

ServicePack Build This is the second part of the Windows 11 build number. For example: build 22000.100

After that, what will I do next please

Hello @Kehinde, and welcome.

Usually after step 7, you will see the results to know which build the ISO is for.

Was there something more specific?

ExaFlop · Jul 29, 2023

Is there any way to reorder the index list or change the default edition in install.wim

I've just tried this tutorial using the 'Win11 23H2 EnglishInternational x64.iso' downloaded from the 23H2 MCT .iso -

However, the build appears to be 22621.2428.

Is this correct??

Hello mate,

Yep, it's correct. It'll auto update to 23H2 via the Enablement Package via Windows Update.

It's available here if you really want/need it:

Select language for Windows 11, version 23H2 (22631.2506) amd64

Select language for Windows 11, version 23H2 (22631.2506) amd64 on UUP dump. UUP dump lets you download Unified Update Platform files, like Windows Insider updates, directly from Windows Update.

B.T.W.
The official MS ISO always shows the Base Build 22621 even when it is 22631 and includes the enablement for 23H2.

Here is another sample with today's 23H2 MCT ISO.

Just a side note, earlier today I tried downloading the .iso using the MCT and it failed twice. The MCT I previously used successfully was from a few months ago so I downloaded the current offering and no issue getting the .iso, will get the Bootable USB drive created shortly.

MCT failed for me today the first time i tried, it just hung my PC during download, the second time it worked fine.

Still silly that they create an install.esd bigger than 4GiB instead of splitting the install.win already in the ISO.
They only split when creating the USB media directly.
