Windows 10 Version 1909
I downloaded and created a DVD drive for Windows 10 - 1909 on 22nd
November, 2019. Now my question is is it still the latest version apart from the monthly updates? Would it make any difference if I download again and create yet another DVD to use for the clean installation. IOW, has the ISO changed or likely to have changed since it was last put on the Microsoft download page. |

Do an MD5 or SHA256 on them both. If you have tons of DVD's then just download it and make a new DVD. DVD's are cheep! Al |

It's not like you're going to beat the system by ramming stuff in there. Sooner or later (a couple more days), another Cumulative comes out and the game begins again. If you wanted to ram and jam, you'd do the following: 1) Unplug network cable on target PC. 2) Bring over November DVD. Install. 3) Bring over Dec 2019 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 (catalog.update.microsoft.com). Jan 2020 will be out soon. 4) Bring over latest Adobe Flash Update for Windows 10. 5) Bring over the latest Windows Defender. There is a download page for WD definition files, files in the 100-150MB range. Files are only useful for a few hours so age rapidly. 6) Bring over the latest NVidia driver for your video card. Could be 500MB. Nice, if it's one you've used to solve this problem on previous occasions. There are other brands of video of course. Once you whapped all those in, you'd reconnect the network cable. Now, the PC will connect to the Windows Store and reinstall all the "valid" Store entries, such as the Flappy Birds eval they put on the machine (which you didn't want) and so on. The machine will also download background images for the screen, it'll download News items for the Tile Panel, and so on. The downloading won't stop, but with the five steps above, you're reduced the magnitude of files needed to finish the job. Or, you could just use the November DVD, walk away from the machine, and let it update itself. Maybe 1GB or 1.5GB later, the machine is "done". Staging only pays off if you're doing ten machines or something. Staging also pays off, if you're living in the woods and on Hughes Satellite and don't want to hit your cap. (You go to the public library and load up a USB stick with the ramming and jamming kit.) But really, Windows 10 and 2GB/mo satellite is not an ideal situation. One burp or fart, and you're over your limit again. Paul |

Many stores no longer carry any at all and when you do find some they're more expensive then they used to be by approx 25% right now. I keep hoping I'll walk in somewhere has a couple "hundred stacks" for purchase but what I do see is more like 10's and 25's stacks. Not sure where you are, but in US I was just in Microcenter Monday and they had lots of 100 tubes. CDs DVDs. Al Good brand or bad brand ? For example, back when my main computer store featured optical media, there was a lot of Memorex on the tables. (They had around six cubic meters of stock on the tables.) That was one brand that I stayed away from, after my "CDRWs go transparent" episode :-/ Only took about three months for all the media to become unrecoverable. So unrecoverable, the laser couldn't lock to the groove. It wasn't "bad bytes", it was "no bytes at all". I haven't had any media do that, since, but it was a valuable lesson. Who makes the media (the media tag on the disc) is not printed on the packaging, because if the companies were required to do that, certain companies would go bust as a result. The business is based on dishonesty. I used to be able to buy Maxell and Verbatim, and be reasonably assured I'd get Ritek. I think Fujitsu used something like that too. You only find out though, when you go home and check. I don't know if there was anything at my computer store with Taiyo Yuden on it. And lots of stuff at retail, used to be "2X rubbish". You always had this fantasy that some day, some day, 8X DVDs would be on that table. But nooooo... Maybe 4X was the best you were going to do. Even though the drive itself might have been rated at an imaginary 20X or so (faster than the speed of light in a vacuum). I burned something the other day, it took *30 minutes* for the burn to finish (erase,burn,verify). Classy. Paul |

Even if you by Verbatim it is the garbage "Data Life" version. I can only get the AZO online, and you still have to be very careful to make sure you are getting the real AZO dye versions. -- Take care, Jonathan ------------------- LITTLE WORKS STUDIO http://www.LittleWorksStudio.com |

I believe these used the AZO dye. They were bought out by JVC a while back. I used to order 100-packs of disks from Uline. only verbatim uses azo. |
