windows 10 iso file with ca 2023

garlin said:

Rufus creates two volumes, a private one for booting from USB and another that holds the actual Windows install contents.

It looks like Rufus is enforcing an arbitrary rule to only install CA 2023 boot files for W11 25H2 images. Technically any updated W10 ESU or W11 install image has the CA 2023 boot files, because the Monthly Updates push the same CA 2023 files across all currently supported Windows releases.

The exception would be W11 21H2, which reached End of Life and stopped receiving more recent updates. But if you have a latest image created by UUP dump, it should have the latest CA 2023 files.

But I can understand why you want to avoid the headache of confirming if someone's ISO doesn't have the proper versions. You could have a slightly out-of-date ISO that has CA 2023 files, but the SVN number is behind. So if you tried booting this ISO (based on the files provided by the host or the ISO), it could possibly fail on another PC where someone already revoked PCA 2011 and the SVN is now higher than what you have.

Let's try this workaround:

1. Create a W10 image (19045.7417 or later) using UUP dump, but edit ConvertConfig.ini before starting:

Code:

UpdtBootFiles=1

This creates an image where the boot file is already replaced.

2. Use Rufus, but don't select the CA 2023 option. It will write your (pre-updated) image as-is to the USB drive.

yes it can be done that way.
save the whole Rufus Win11 ISO to a folder
burn the Rufus USB with Win10

then remove (cut/copy) the Win10 boot folders out
and replace with the Win11 boot folders

i keep a copy of a whole Rufus USB Win11 25H2 with the Win10 boot folders in OneDrive.
that way i can download the Rufus ISO and upgrade a Win10 within the VM install
while the VM is running. it just uses OneDrive as a dropbox.

best of luck Steve ..

In that case you just have Rufus create the USB normally.
