Q1) Correct me anyone if I have understood this correctly or not --> Is Host Refresh same as that of integrating and applying the Windows 10 update to a vanilla Windows 10 ISO ??

Q2) What will happen if an extracted Windows 10 ISO folder which has different editions in it is used for Host refresh ( Host having Win10Pro installed ) with edition selected as Win10Home in the wizard menu with no preset selected??

Q3) Does abruptly ending the Host refresh can cause some problem??

Q4) What status should Host deployed image (C:\Windows) be showing in NTLite 'Source' page??
 
1) with host refresh you don't have to update anything. you can refresh your system to the same build if you have the iso.

2) hostrefresh will use same edition in iso, if there are none you won't be able to host refresh

3) probably as everything does. it will too

4) blue mounted? click host refresh it will do the rest. you don't mount or unmount anything manually

host refresh mainly used for changing components in system adding or removing... enabling or disabling features etc... for updates you can use system update.

Is this alright?
Pardon for mistake from side but I didn't pay attention to select the Win10Home during Host Refesh wizard and I click OK to proceed. During the process of changes like when it loaded Win10Home, completed 100%.... I broke the process in between till then it says Installed as status for Win10Pro host OS.
BTW thanks for the responses to Q1, Q2 and Q3

Does continuing with nothing to apply in Host Refresh will downgrade my system running on Win10Pro Build 19043.1202 to Build 19043.928??
 
If you abort Host Refresh during NTLite processing, it's safe.

After local processing/preparation of ISO, it starts setup from that edited ISO and then it's up to Windows.
It's usually quite robust, also can be aborted and it reverts automatically.

If ISO setup allows for build downgrade, it should be fine, it's usually made for the same or newer version - maybe it just checks the 19043 part.
