• I just downloaded a copy of the Win10 ISO installation file. How can I be sure it’s for version 1803?

    A very timely question just appeared in my inbox.

    I did do one thing today, that had got “timed-out” earlier this month…  downloaded the Win10-1803 ISO.  Or at least, I think it was the 1803 version, which is what I wanted to ask you about.

    The MediaTool download stated it was for 1803 – can I rely on that being 1803?  Is it possible it slipped me a copy of 1809 while pretending it was 1803?

    I’ve just filed it away for future reference, as an insurance policy (not that I think my machines are deemed to be “supported” for anything past 1511?).

    A whole lot of people are going to be asking that question over the next few days. Fortunately, the answer’s easy – if you know the dism trick.

    Check out my full explanation in the Computerworld article Grab a free copy of Win10 version 1803 and save it for a rainy day.
