A new script makes it easy to create an ISO for any version of Windows 10, including Windows 10 version 1507 through 20H2. For those not familiar with ISO images, they are a sector-by-sector copy of a DVD. This ISO file can then be written, or burned, to a DVD to create a replica of the original media, mounted as a drive letter in Windows, or extracted by a program like 7-Zip to access the contained files.
If you want to perform a clean install of Windows 10 or run into a problem, it is always helpful to download an ISO that can be used to create Windows 10 media.
A new batch file called 'Universal MCT wrapper' lets you download the Media Creation Tool for any version of Windows 10 so that you can create an ISO. To use the script, download the batch file and launch it to see a dialog box asking what version of Windows 10 you would like to make installation media.
After selecting the version, the script will download the associated Windows 10 Media Creation Tool and other support files and automatically launch the program in Windows 10.
After running the command, the Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool will display information about the Windows 10 version in the ISO. As you can see below, this ISO is for Windows 10 build 10240, which corresponds to Windows 10 1507.
