Get unofficial ISOs for the newly-launch TP build

Windows 10 build 10061 is now available for download as part of the Windows Insider program, but only users who are enrolled in the fast ring can get it for now.

Unfortunately for those who want to perform a clean install, Microsoft didn’t release new ISOs for this purpose, so if you want to start from scratch, you need to go back to Windows 10 build 10041 and update your system gradually until you reach 10061.

Luckily, unofficial Windows 10 build 10061 ISOs have reached the web, so you can download and install today’s version of the technical preview without the pain of updates from one build to another.

These ISOs have been built using the ESD files that were delivered via Windows Update, so you’ll get pretty much the same performance as you’d get from Windows 10 build 10061 released via the fast channel. Users enrolled in the fast ring get faster builds that are more prone to bugs, and this is one the of the reasons Microsoft decides to roll out new ISOs when each version is ready for the slow ring.

Please note that these ISOs are not provided by Microsoft and are hosted on Google Drive, so they can be removed at any time by the account owner. Anyone can build their own ISOs using the official ESD files and we’re now preparing a guide to help you with this.

Update: here it is. Learn how to convert ESD files to ISO with this simple guide.
