Hi All,
What is the difference between Win10_1903_V1_English_x64.iso and Win10_1903_V2_English_x64.iso
# ls -al Win10_1903*
-rwxrw-rw-. 1 qemu qemu 4939528192 May 22 05:10 Win10_1903_V1_English_x64.iso
-rwxrw-rw-. 1 qemu qemu 5369317376 Oct 8 19:23 Win10_1903_V2_English_x64.iso
Hmmmmmm... 4939528192 bytes versus 5369317376 bytes. They did something. Probably added some more spyware.
Many thanks,

Be nice if I knew what they were. I am all tooled up for V1 (I am a system builder) and really don't want to put the effort into V2 if 1909 is almost here.
That is a Firefox extension by the way. It shows you in curl format what Firefox had to do to download the file. It is a very useful extension.
The Windows update history described in the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 4498140 and the Windows 10 Release Information page (section "Version 1903 (OS build 18362)") could provide you with the list of changes included in Windows 10 from May 2019 to October 2019.

Hi ToddAndMargo3.
Where did you download those ISO files from? Did you follow the procedure described at https://www.techpowerup.com/255823/psa-how-to-download-the-windows-10-1903-iso-from-ms-without-the-media-creation-tool?
I presume the larger size is due to the amount of additional updates: the second version is 5 months newer then the first one.

This is from my Firefox curl extension (cliget). Go to the bottom and check out the "--output" parameters.

As far as I can see, that Chrome extension is bypassing the way the Microsoft site allows you to download the Windows 10 ISO file.
As per my previous post, we cannot exactly determine the differences between those two ISO files: I presume the size difference could be due to the number of updates and features (e.g., the Windows Sandbox) that have been release during those 5 months.

hello,
Depends on how they installed the updates if you have installed the v2 version open an elevated CMD prompt.
Run Systeminfo, this will show a list of the installed updates.
