Updated: ESD files of the updated RTM Build 17134 are already available on the network. We changed links in this post so that you can download fresh build.
Previously, rumors were, as if 1803, it was Redstone 4, will begin to send on April 10, but something did not work out and developers had to re-create RTM-build. Microsoft has not yet called the official launch date new version Windows 10, and also said nothing regarding the name of this update. Although the release assembly of 17134 is already available in Fast Ring, Slow Ring and Release Preview, no updates yet Media Creation Tool. However, stable versions of various editions are already lying on Microsoft servers, so all users can download ESD files and collect the installation ISO file for clean installation 17134. You will need an ESD file decoder that can be downloaded, as well as a list All links to ESD files. It is located.
- Download and unpack the decoder in any folder convenient to you.
- Download and unpack the file with links to ESD files. Run the XML file in any browser convenient for you.
- Now you need to find the assembly you need. Click Ctrl + F. and enter into search " rU-RU” (uK-UA. for Ukrainian assemblies and eN-US. For American English). The browser will display a list of all editions in Russian. Focus on the parameters Edition. (Professional / Home / Education) and Architecture. (x64 / x86).
- Then copy the link from the FilePath string. It should look like this: 17134.1.180410-1804.RS4_Release_ClientConsumer_Ret_x64Fre_en-us.esd.. Insert the link to the browser's address bar and wait for the ESD file.
- Now place the downloaded file into the folder with the ESD decoder and run the file decypt.cmd. On behalf of the administrator.
- Choose which edition to include in composition (1 - all editors, 2 is one of the above, 3 is a number of editions and 4 - random editors). Press the corresponding digit and then enter.
- In the next step, select 1 or 2. The first will create a standard ISO, and the second will create an ISO with compressed install.esd.
- Wait for the process to complete, after which you will have a ready-to-use ISO file. Write it down on the USB flash drive or disk, after which you can use the created drive for windows installations 10 Spring Creators Update. More about this procedure is described in the article "".
If you do not want to play with ESD files, you can wait until Microsoft will release an updated update assistant and updated version Media Creation Tool. The most impatient can confidently update the method described above, as it is these assemblies that will be sent to users in the next few days.
When updating the Windows 10 ticket update through Windows Update System, the installation image of the new preliminary (insider) Windows assembly is downloaded to the user's computer in a specially new image format - ESD ( Electronic Software. Download). ESD is encrypted and compressed. Wim ( Windows Imaging Format.) Windows image.
This format of the image distribution for the first time began to be used in Windows 8.1 with online updates operating system. Unlike the WIM file, the ESD image cannot be built and modified. Microsoft plans to widely use this format for deploying systems. Compared to the WIM file, size. The file of the file is about 30% less, which is a big advantage when it is distributed over the Internet.
In this article, we will show how to decrypt and convert ESD image of Windows 10 to the usual installation image of Windows that can be recorded on DVD or USB disk And use Windows 10 for clean installation or update.
Note. In fact - the easiest way to get the installation ISO Image Windows 10 and write it on the flash drive / DVD - use the free, which will help you download last version Windows 10 images directly from Microsoft servers.
How to get an ESD file with a Windows 10 image
We will understand where can I getESD. file? When updating Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, the Install.esd file is downloaded in the background from the Microsoft repository and is saved in the directory C.: \\ Windows\\ SoftWaredistribution\\ Download.\\ (some id} .
Get file Install.esd. With the last build of Windows 10, you can go on installed system In the Start section -\u003e Settings -\u003e Updates and Security ( Start -\u003e PC Settings -\u003e Update and Recovery -\u003e Preview Builds). If a new assembly is available for your Windows 10, you will be asked to download and install a new image.
Run the system update for the new build, but do not overload the computer. In the process windows updates Download the files needed to perform the system version update. After the download is completed, open the Explorer and go to the catalog C.: \\ $ Windows. ~ Bt.\\ Sources.. Find a file in this catalog Install.Esd. (It is) and copy it to any other directory. It is. The file with a compressed image of the last build of Windows 10.
Council. In already installed windows 10 Technical Preview ESD File can be copied from the C: \\ RecoveryImage \\ Install.esd directory.
To get information about which Windows images are located inside the ESD file, you can use standard utility DISM:
DISM / GET-WIMINFO /WIMFILE: "C :\\iso\\Install.esd "
Deployment Image Servicing and Management Tool
Version: 10.0.17134.1

The Operation Completed SuccessFully.
In our example inside the Install.esd archive there are several ways of system. For example, Windows 10 Pro has an index 4.
Knowing the sequence index of the Windows image in the ESD file, you can export it to the WIM file using the command:
dISM / Export-Image /SourceImageFile:C:\\iso\\Install.esd / SourceIndex: 4 / DestinationImageFile: C: \\ ISO \\ Win10Pro.Wim / Compress: Max / Checkintegrity
The resulting WIM file can be converted to an ISO image using third-party utilities.
Utility ESD Decrypter.
To convert an ESD image to ISO file. We use the command line utility ESD. Decrypter. (ESD. Toolkit.) , You can download on GitHub: https://github.com/gus33000/esd-decrypter/releases/. Utility ESD. DecryPter is written on PowerShell, so you can easily familiarize yourself with its source code (to generate an ISO image from a WIM file using a CDimage.exe utility).
DISM ++ Utility To convert the Install.esd file
To convert an ESD image to an ISO file, you can use a simple and convenient graphic utility. DISM.++ (https://www.chuyu.me/en/index.html), which performs the same as the ESD DecryPter script, but has a more convenient graphical interface.
Format.esd decrypt as Electronic Software Distribution. It is not a format in the usual understanding of this word, but technology that is intended for distribution. It is used to ensure that Microsoft's programs are distributed in the electronic version. The distributions also also have an image of the operating windows systems 10. If the distribution is applied by format.esd, then all programs that are presented in it will have a compressed view. If you download the image of a new operating system, it will be in size 35 percent more than that file with Windows 10, which is loaded in format.esd.
This technology is not yet so widely used to distribute Microsoft products. It can use only those users who have access to the internal lines of the corporation. Distributions in format.esd are not designed for ordinary users. However, on the official Internet resource of Microsoft, there are several programs V.ESd, which are in open access.
Today is available a large number of questions about this format For the reason that users can not understand why there are programs in the open access in format.esd, but it is almost impossible to download them.
Initially, you need to go to the official website of Microsoft and download the ESD image of the Windows 10 operating system from there. It has direct links directly. It should be noted that the images of the Operations will be in English.
If the user already has a downloaded Windows 10, then you do not need to load its ESD image. It can be found in the system folders of the operating system. It should be simply copied from one folder and transfer to another.
When ESD - the image will be loaded, it is necessary to perform it to decrypt or unpacking. He must find the appearance of the ISO image. Such a procedure is possible to produce with the use of programs: Decrypter, Nlite, WinReducer Wim Converter. First, it is necessary to figure out how this procedure is carried out in the wrong DECRYPTER utility itself.
First you need to unpack the archive and all its contents to save in the ESD-DecryPter folder.
This folder also needs to be copied from the Windows 10 operating system system folders and its ESD image.
Then you need to go to the folder and open the decrypt.cmd file there. Running this file You need to implement on behalf of the administrator.
Name In the ENTER Your Option column you need to put a digit 1.
After that, you must click any button on the keyboard to go to the next step.
If we go to the ESD-DecryPter folder, we can see that the file with the ISO image appears in it.
This file has the ability to apply to install the operating system at any time. It may be necessary to create a boot flash drive, or installation disk.
If the user is on computer device There is already an operating system, then you do not need to download an image from the site ESD. It is located in the C: \\ $ Windows folder. ~ BT \\ Sources.

Currently, the Windows 10 operating system is a popular product. Its ISO image can be downloaded on the official website of Microsoft. However, many users are interested in another ESD format. Programs 4.81 14
Or $ Windows. ~ BT, $ Windows. ~ WS. It turns out that the ESD folder also stores various temporary files that can restore the system if there has occurred, for example, a critical error. But the question comes, and is it possible to delete the ESD folder? I want to say that yes, you can. The folder stores the recovery files that weigh quite a lot and if you do not have a lot of hard disk space, you should delete it.
Tip! I suggest you at first not to delete this folder, as well as Windows.old and others, since if you just recently use Windows 10, then it can be tested yet. If everything suits, you can delete all unnecessary trash. Do it i recommend regular windows tools "Cleaning the disc."
So, if you have administrator rights, then go to the utility "Cleaning the disk"It can be entered in the search field.
Now, we are in the field "Disks"need to choose system Disk, usually this (C :). Click OK.
We are waiting for the system to evaluate the disk space that can be released.
The following window will appear in which you want to click "Clear system files» . We are waiting again when the volume of the disk is evaluated.
Confirm the actions by pressing the button "Delete Files" And we are waiting for the operation will be completed.
Once temporary files are removed you can some more. To do this, in the "Cleaning disk" utility go to the tab "Additionally" And where the point is located "System Restore and Shadow Copy" Press "Clear". It is advisable to remove everything control PointsAnd the last to leave you can in the case of anything to return.
Actually, all. By the emergence of questions, ask them in the comments, try to figure out.
The reasons that encourage the creation of their own distribution of the Windows 10 operating system may be much, and they are not the topic of this article. It is important that the need for its own version of the distribution is, and we will tell you how to create it, using only Windows ADK (a set of tools for Windows deployment) and command lineIn other words, we will bypass without third-party software, using only the built-in OS.
So, the configured distribution can be needed, for example, if you plan to increase the number of computers. You decide to get another machine, in addition to the laptop, we decided to order a computer assembly more productive, but the set of software on it will be about the same as on the laptop.
You can, of course, install the OS on a new machine, and then install and adjust the remaining software. You can do differently: that windows configuration 10, complete with all installed programs that runs on one of the computers, turn into a distribution. It will only be able to display the system to a new machine, and the entire software you need will automatically be installed. It will only be left to install the drivers under the "iron", which will be in a new computer.
For work, you will need two computers, as a last resort, for experiments you can do and alone, but establish virtual Machine. Suppose that on one of them is planned by Windows 10 and all the necessary software.
Preparation
You will need a distribution kit that can be downloaded to the Microsoft website.
Create blood flash driveUsing this distribution, and launch the "SYSPREP" built-in utility. The task of this utility is to prepare an image of the system in which all settings and software installed, To transfer to another computer.
The command line must be launched and enter the command:
C: \\ Windows \\ System32 \\ sysprep \\ sysprep.exe
In the window that opens, all the parameters are set as shown in the screenshot:
I will explain a little, which means some items:
- Translation of the system to Oobe mode - the next time you start the system will switch to OS transfer mode.
- Preparation for use - Excessive information will be deleted, not intended for copying, for example, activation data, etc., with all installed programs, utilities must be included in the copy.
The "Sysprep" utility will work for several minutes, the duration depends on the amount of data to be transferred to a new computer.
After completing the computer will turn off.
Creating an image in ESD format
Now you need to connect an external disk, insert the previously prepared loading USB flash drive, and boot from it. When the Windows 10 installation window appears, you need to press the "Shift + 10" key combination.
- "Diskpart" (utility that allows you to work with partitions hard disc)
- "LISVOL" (View disk partitions, so, Windows 10 is set to C:, and the connected USB drive received the letter I :),
- "EXIT" (exit from the utility. We learned these sections).
Now you need to start the process of saving the C: where the installed Windows 10 OS is located in the image file eSD format On the connected USB disk. The team looks like this:
DISM / Capture-image /ImageFile: Page Image / Capturedir: C: \\ / Name: Windows
Let us explain the team:
- Install.esd - Name created file with way system,
- I: - The disk on which this file will be created in our case is a portable drive I :),
- C: \\ disk on which the original OS of Windows 10 is installed.
You can still specify the degree of compression of the received file. In this line, this parameter is not specified and the default value will be used - Fast. If you need a different mode of operation, you can use another value. It should be remembered that the stronger compression, the more time it is necessary to work.
Upon completion of work on removable disk will appear ready File With way.
Now you can turn off that computer on which Windows 10 was installed, and which was used to create an image. The rest of the work will be made on the second computer.
Additional compression file image
This section is not required to be executed. The "Install.esd" file obtained at last stage can be compressed even more by reducing its size. Check the availability of a file on a removable disk.
We enter the command:
DISM / EXPORT-image /SourceImagefile ::\\Install.esd / Sourceindex: 1 /destinationImageFile ::\\Install2.esd / Compress: Recovery
This command we create the second file with the name "install2.esd", which should differ from the initial only size. At the same time, we use a new compression type - Compress: Recovery.
After the operation is completed, there will be 2 files that differ in size. Now you can delete the source file with the image ("install.esd"), and the new rename from "Install2.esd" in "Install.esd".
As a result, only one file with the former name "install.esd" remains again, but reduced size.
Editing ISO image windows 10
Now it is time to make the creation of the OS image version that we need. To do this, we take the distribution-downloaded previously from the Microsoft website and copy its contents to the folder that we create on a portable disk where our file is already located. Let's call the folder "10".
After copying is over, you can see a file with the same name in the subfolder "Sources" as we created when creating an image of an OS file of the source computer. Our task is to replace this file with your own. To do this, copy our "Install.esd" file.
Then we insert it into the "Sources" folder of the Windows 10 distribution.
It is necessary to replace the original file to our.
Creating an ISO image
It remains a little. From the folder to which the contents of the original Windows 10 distribution copied, and where they replaced one file to its own, create an ISO image again. To do this, we use Windows ADK (a set of Windows deployment). It is usually installed with the OS. If it is not, then you can download from Microsoft and install it.
Run the medium of means of deploying and working with images.
In the window that opens, enter the command:
Oscdimg / u2 / m /bootdata:#p0eetfsboot.com#pef_b: \\10 перефеf.bin i: \\ 10 i: \\ U2 -
Let us explain the team:
- file system udf, M - The image has no restrictions in size,
- b.
- boot sector — record EtfsBoot.com. the path to the EtfSBoot.com file when specifying B (BOOT) is written without a space: BI: \\ 10 \\ Boot \\ etfsboot.com,I: \\ 10 show the folder in which there are files for creating an image,
- I: \\ Windows.iso - indicate that the final image file must have the name of Windows.iso and have a disk I:.
- After the operation is completed on the disk, the Windows Distribution File will appear.
Create bootable media
The distribution is created, now you need to write it onto the media from which the installation of the system to another computer will be installed. You can use a USB flash drive. How to create a bootable flash drive, can be found on the Internet. It's not hard. If you coped with the creation of your own distribution, without resorting to
Assistance , not disturbed friends familiar orsystem administrator at your work, I did not add to the repair of laptops at the metro Otradnaya, where, for example, live or work, you can cope with this task. As a result, we obtain a carrier from which you can install a system with an integrated set of necessary software, and you can install on any computer as with
Biosa UEFI and with the usual.Installing Windows 10
{!LANG-0626ba76876b9121ddc5e05ae9be3377!}
If you have already installed this version of the OS, you are familiar with the procedure. Differences when using an independently created distribution no. In extreme cases, the installation process will last a little longer.
After completion, you will get a computer on which everything you need is already installed. The only thing that remains to do is install the device drivers of this computer.
Such an assembly is convenient if you need to transfer the system to another computer. If you want to install OS into several computers, this distribution can be used as a basic configuration with an integrated set of necessary software.
