Win10_1903_V2_English_x64 ?

Hi All,

Anyone know the difference between Win10_1903_V1_English_x64
and Win10_1903_V2_English_x64?

I have been using V1. Any reason I should switch to V2?

And isn't 1909 due out sometime soon?

Many thanks,
-T

I'm not sure where your V1 and V2 come from or what they mean .

I am running Windows 10 Pro English x64 and here is what Winver gives me

Version 1903 (OS build 18362.418

What do you get with Winver?

Hi Rene,

Since I am downloading with Linux, M$ automatically switches me
to the ISO download, which is what I want anyway. (I cut
sticks with "woeusb")

Where I see the V1/V2 is in the name of the ISO:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...d/windows10ISO

This is from my Firefox curl extension (cliget). Go to
the bottom and check out the "--output" parameters.

Ok, I checked my latest ISO and it is 1903 with V2 english x64, But the
V2 does not do anything for me as I just use the latest ISO and install it.

Windows 1909 will be out later if not sooner. :-)

I am all tooled up for 1903 V1. Don't see a reason
for tooling up for V2 if 1909 is coming. So I though
I'd ask if I was making a mistake.

Boy can you hold off a lot of upgrade nonsense by
putting the latest ISO on to start with!

Wait? Did I just admit I could make mistakes?
Me? NEVER !!!!

What ??? I heard that all the way over the Internet!

Do you know how to read the version off one of those DVDs ?

Look in the "sources" folder on the DVD.

Look for "install.esd" or "install.wim".

Using a recent copy of 7ZIP, open that file as
an archive.

Look for "[1].XML" . Inside is version info as text.

The V1 would have said "18362.1" or a similar early version.

Now, look in your V2 and see what patch level it is at...
18362.xxx .

And that image is still too large for a single layer DVD.
So it's not like their compression attempt, helped
a customer. It's still too big.

It's OK to download those in Linux, if you're making
USB boot sticks. If you expect to burn a DVD with that,
it's better to use MediaCreationTool1903.exe. Running
the tool on W7/W8/W10 is likely sufficient as a platform.
The MediaCreationTool DVD version only has seven OSes on it,
and, it fits a single layer DVD.

Hi All,

Anyone know the difference between Win10_1903_V1_English_x64
and Win10_1903_V2_English_x64?

I have been using V1.Â* Any reason I should switch to V2?

And isn't 1909 due out sometime soon?

Many thanks,

I'm not sure where your V1 and V2 come from or what they mean .

I am running Windows 10 Pro English x64 and here is what Winver
gives me

Version 1903 (OS build 18362.418

What do you get with Winver?

Hi Rene,

Since I am downloading with Linux, M$ automatically switches me
to the ISO download, which is what I want anyway.Â* (I cut
sticks with "woeusb")

Where I see the V1/V2 is in the name of the ISO:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...d/windows10ISO

This is from my Firefox curl extension (cliget).Â* Go to
the bottom and check out the "--output" parameters.

Ok, I checked my latest ISO and it is 1903 with V2 english x64, But
the V2 does not do anything for meÂ* as I just use the latest ISO
and install it.

Windows 1909 will be out later if not sooner.Â* :-)

Rene

I am all tooled up for 1903 V1.Â* Don't see a reason
for tooling up for V2 if 1909 is coming.Â* So I though
I'd ask if I was making a mistake.

Boy can you hold off a lot of upgrade nonsense by
putting the latest ISO on to start with!

Wait?Â* Did I just admit I could make mistakes?
Me?Â* NEVER !!!!

What ???Â* I heard that all the way over the Internet!

:-)

Do you know how to read the version off one of those DVDs ?

Look in the "sources" folder on the DVD.

Look for "install.esd" or "install.wim".

Using a recent copy of 7ZIP, open that file as
an archive.

Look for "[1].XML" . Inside is version info as text.

The V1 would have said "18362.1" or a similar early version.

Now, look in your V2 and see what patch level it is at...
18362.xxx .

And that image is still too large for a single layer DVD.
So it's not like their compression attempt, helped
a customer. It's still too big.

It's OK to download those in Linux, if you're making
USB boot sticks. If you expect to burn a DVD with that,
it's better to use MediaCreationTool1903.exe. Running
the tool on W7/W8/W10 is likely sufficient as a platform.
The MediaCreationTool DVD version only has seven OSes on it,
and, it fits a single layer DVD.

Â*Â* Paul

Could not find "Path level", but I did find:

V1: PKEYCONFIGVERSION10.0.18362.1
V2: PKEYCONFIGVERSION10.0.18362.1

V2: PKEYCONFIGVERSION10.0.18362.1

The hint here is, it could be 18362.356.

https://www.askwoody.com/2019/hedge-...r-a-rainy-day/

And some more info here.

https://forums.mydigitallife.net/thr...8#post-1551675

"1903 V2 ISO on techbench Media Content (18362.356 19H1)"

As if it's the "non-update" for the second half of the year.

The next Windows version update will be spring next year.
I think the Insider Fast Ring, the version on that is intended
for next year.

I got V2. It is part of the filename you get to download, not before you
