If you're looking for a quick and efficient way to create ISO images directly from Microsoft's servers, UUPDUMP is a powerful tool to get the job done. Whether you need to build a custom Windows ISO with specific editions or integrate the latest updates, UUPDUMP simplifies the process.
Why use UUP Dump?
Unlike other methods, UUPDUMP pulls files directly from Microsoft’s servers, ensuring that you're using official, up-to-date packages. Plus, you have the flexibility to customize your ISO by selecting specific editions and updates before downloading, all while keeping the process straightforward and user-friendly.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through how to use UUPDUMP to create an ISO image and deploy it effortlessly.
Steps.
Navigate to https://uupdump.net/
Search for the build that you would like. For example:
Build | Architecture | Date Added |
Windows 11, version 24H2 (26100.2152) amd64 | x64 | 2024-10-10 21:00:19 UTC |
Choose a language and select
Next
.Choose the Editions you would like and select
Next
.Choose ‘Download and convert to ISO’.
NOTE: ‘Download, add additional editions and convert to ISO’ allows you to download the base edition and also add other editions (such as Professional, Home, etc.) before converting the set into an ISO - It’s useful for allowing multiple Windows editions but adds complexity and time to the process.
- Ensure ‘Include updates (Windows converter only)’ and ‘Run component cleanup (Windows converter only)’ are selected.
- Select ‘Create download package’.
Installation.
You should now have a compressed .ZIP file, named something like: 26100.2152_amd64_en-gb_professional_a4da2b41_convert.zip
Go ahead and extract it. You’ll then see the following files:
NOTE: UUP Dump does not directly provide an ISO image for download. Instead, it generates a set of scripts and configuration files that allow you to download the necessary Windows update files from Microsoft’s servers and then convert them into an ISO.
When you extract the files from UUP Dump, you’ll find a script named uup_download_windows.cmd
. We want to execute this as an administrator.
This will now automatically start preparing your ISO file.
Once complete, the .ISO media file will appear within the same directory as the install script that you executed. The ISO will look something like this:
26100.2152.241004-1811.GE
_RELEASE_SVC_PROD2_CLIENTPRO_OEMRET_X64FRE_EN-GB.ISO
.
Now you have a bootable ISO containing Windows 11 24H2 that you can use for installations or deployments, all from the latest, official Windows builds!
