Hello everyone, regarding the choice of ISO, do you use UUP or download the iso+patch provided by msdn, or the iso generated by Microsoft every month.

What is the difference between uup, the iso+patch released by the initial user, and the iso released every month?

Just a small question, thank you all.

MSDN releases Windows ISO's for compatibility testing, OEM's and partners use them to save time instead of managing their own builds.
But MS will always recommend you create custom images from the RTM sources.

UUP dump tries to follow that model, but using the earliest build in that family instead of RTM. When you request an image, their script collects the UUP slices to recreate the image, and applies the matching KB's for a specific build. You can skip the update step on request, or reconfigure the settings file. As long as UUP dump can find the right patches to recreate a release, it can offer that build.

Is UUP's image identical to MSDN's version, or from applying KB's to RTM? No, but it's functionally the same. There's probably minor byte differences in the registry & WinSxS metadata, but you get the same files.

So wzt provides rtm iso? Need to add patches?

adguard (Final) is RTM builds. A long time ago they could provide hidden MSDN builds, but MS restricted access.
That's why everyone uses UUP dump.
