The site creates a download link which is valid for one day. 4+ GB. Only good that my phone provider forced me on a 50 Mbit/s line last year. $ xorriso -indev Win10_1607_English_x64.iso -report_el_torito plain -report_system_area plain ...

So the ISO is only prepared for booting from CD, DVD, or BD media. Not for hard disk or USB stick. Since we are at it, let's have a look at the filesytems: There is only one data file in the ISO 9660. Its content says This disc contains a "UDF" file system and requires an operating system that supports the ISO-13346 "UDF" file system specification. So i mount it # mount -t udf -o loop Win10_1607_English_x64.iso /mnt/iso and then can see lots of files underneath /mnt/iso. $ du -s /mnt/iso 4273306 /mnt/iso The content of the EFI System partition is similarly meager as in a Debian ISO. # mount -t vfat -o loop,offset=1107968 Win10_1607_English_x64.iso /mnt/fat The offset number 1107968 was computed from UEFI boot image LBA 541 multiplied by DVD block size 2048 bytes. $ find /mnt/fat -exec ls -ld '{}' ';' drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 7168 Jan 1 1970 /mnt/fat drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 512 Jul 15 2016 /mnt/fat/EFI drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 512 Jul 15 2016 /mnt/fat/EFI/BOOT -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 869216 Jul 15 2016 /mnt/fat/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI Have a nice day :) Thomas
