Previous versions needed a location to recover corrupt files.
So the question is where would that be on a PC with Windows 10 that has
been downloaded from update?

Media is available here. It's possible Home and Pro are
on the same DVD. The reason for providing details
on size, is I received some too-small downloads
which were corrupted. These are my final working ones.
The corrupted ones were a little over 2GB.

If you have a netbook without optical drive, you
can also convert the media later to USB stick,
with the old MicrosoftStore utility. This will put
the ISO9660 file on a USB stick for you. I prefer
the ISO format for storage, and convert to USB flash
format when required to do so.

Windows 10 has the ability to mount an ISO9660 file
and make it look like there is a virtual CD drive
in the computer. So you also have that option available
to you. What I haven't figured out, is how to make
the virtual drive "go away". You can "eject" the media
from the virtual drive, but then the virtual drive
just sits there :-) A reboot removes it completely,
but I was hoping it would go away as soon as the
virtual media is ejected.
