How to use Windows 10 ISO file

Windows 10 22H2 ISO files can be used in several ways. If the Media Creation Tool and other programs don’t work, you can use it to manually install the latest operating system update without losing any files/apps.

Before you get started with the media file, you need to understand how it works.

An ISO image contains the Windows 10 installation files with the latest cumulative and feature updates.

On Windows 10, there are many tools to open these media files. However, you can always use File Explorer, which comes with built-in functionality to mount ISO natively without the need for additional third-party software.

Follow these steps to update your device to Windows 10 version 22H2 using ISO files:

1. Open File Explorer.
2. Browse to the Downloads folder where the ISO image is located.
3. Double click “Win10_22H2_v2_English_x64.iso” file to mount it.
4. Double-click in the folder setup.exe.
5. Accept the terms and conditions.
6. Click Upgrade this PC.
7. The tool will now start checking for quality updates, such as driver or cumulative updates, and will download automatically.
8. Select the Keep personal files, programs, and apps option. You are given options to keep everything, but you can choose to keep nothing at all and do a fresh install.
9. When you are sure of the selections, click “Install” or “Next” and the Windows 10 installation process will begin.
10. Restart.

Windows 10’s Setup.exe and Media Creation Tool are the two easiest ways to complete a feature update installation. Windows Update and Update Assistant Tools can sometimes lag when rolling out newer versions, but there’s no end to it when you manually download the update.

ISO file is also perfect if you want to clean install the operating system or build a USB flash drive to install Windows 10 on another machine.

What is the size of the 22H2 Update version?

As always, you can skip the hassle of the media files and download/install Windows 10 November 2021 Update using Windows Update Settings or Update Assistant. This process is faster when you run the November 2021 update (version 21H2) because the update is based on the activation package.
