The corrupted ones were a little over 2GB.

I have upgraded from 7 Pro 64 bit to 10 Pro 64 bit, apart from the App
problem I've mentioned in the group it seems to be running smoothly.

I've just created a 64 bit ISO as above but on reflection I noticed
there was an N version, I didn't use that one but was wondering as I'm
in the UK should I have chosen that one, especially as the chance to use
image burner failed to open?

The ones with the letter version, have things like
Windows Media Player or Internet Explorer turned off.
To meet EU legal requirements from past settlements
perhaps.

"The N editions of Windows 7 allow you to choose your
own media player and software required to manage and
play CDs, DVDs, and other digital media files. If you
choose to use Windows Media Player 12, downloading it,
along with related software, is free."

So this is intended to be a barrier to "bundling" and
locking out other third-party developers from providing
such functions.

At some point, Microsoft had also implemented a "Browser choice"
screen, so you could see or view the options besides
Internet Explorer. Then, they conveniently disabled
the function, until the EU caught them doing it.

In the latest bit of good-natured fun, the Firefox team
has managed to steal search away from Bing, when you select
Firefox as your default browser. As Microsoft was overriding
the search choice. So the warfare continues. Bundling
for the win. If only the users knew... or realized...
what was going on. And Windows 10 is wired to the gills
with controlling the search, keeping everything
you accidentally type in a search box (when you
were searching for a program say), that wort
of thing.
