Full Windows 10 ISO is ~7GB.
21H2 is Enablement Package ~100-150MB if you are up to date with updates.
Wait for the update.

More like a post-halloween release opposed to thanksgiving..
another cauldron of digital blastphemy awaits the unsuspecting

Downloading and having it ready only gives you time. If you have access, you can get it via another computer if your computer falls over and you need it. The important part is to back up your data. Frequently. Offline copies, as well.  Alternating disks backup (e.g. odd week; even week). Even that can fail. I once had two disks fail on a single day. Fortunately, both were backup disks.

I wonder what changes, if any,  are in 21H2

These alerts are needed & appreciated but they never say – Save an ISO or Images -. Is THAT from a belief that an ISO is a more reliable recovery tool than Images?

ISO just dnloaded was 4.24 GB ……… SO WHY do I get – “4.24 GB ISO is Too Large for 14.5 GB FREE USB Destination? Copy-Paste from D Drive to USB a different animal with different transfer rules?

I’m getting a LOT of Edit time – Great!!

Fat32 formatted USB drives cannot store files over a several GB limit.  A USB drive formatted as NTFS or exfat can.  It is nice to have the Windows ISO because it can make a bootable USB key that can run some tools or do repairs.  It can also update or downgrade other computers to that same patch level if you have to buy another.

You get the message because your USB is formatted with FAT32 (max file 4GB).
Format to NTFS.

Hi,

if you use a different OS than Windows – Linux for example – you will not need to use that “download tool”, you will simply be offered to download the ISO directly. Also you can make the webserver think, that your browser runs on another OS (with an agent-changer-add-on), this way it will work, too.

Typical kind of Microsoft-thinking.

By the way: The ISO is 5,4 GB.

What is the 21H1 build that the most recent download of MCT creates?

danke schön. Good to know, if you don’t read German 🙂

And does it need a double layer DVD? Or will it go on a single layer DVD? When I tried to burn the older 19043.928 (4.24 GB) to a double-layer DVD with CD Burner XP Pro, it wouldn’t verify afterwards. So, I burned it again using a single layer DVD and it worked. I hate to waste DL DVDs; they are hard to find.

On the other hand, 20H1 (19042.631) was 4.56 GB and required a DL disc.
