Windows Media 10 Creation Tool

[anon(9738275)]

I created an iso of Windows 10 via the media creation tool in November 2015 and burned to DVD.

Then yesterday (June 2016) I created another iso via the media creation tool and burned to DVD. Is the build in the media creation tool newer (eg. with all updates). Does anyone know how you find the build number for the media creation tool iso?

No, the media creation tool still gives us 10586.117 that is the November Update. Expect a new ISO after the Anniversary Update.
Right click on the Media Creation Tool > Properties > Details. You can check the file version there.
Or you can check the details of setup.exe's in your ISO.
One thing that you can do is download KB3156421(Cumulative Update), KB3163207(Flash player Update), KB3140741(Servicing Stack Update), KB890830(Malicious Software Removal Tool) and the Defender definition update manually and install them as soon as install Windows and you'll have an up to date system. Or if you're comfortable, you can deploy them during setup itself.

Thanks for your help.

I clicked properties on setup.exe on the disc and it stated build 10586.0.
I've also downloaded the updates you suggested.

Yes when the clean install first came out it required that you had to upgrade with either Win 7 or 8.1 installed. Then they updated the ISO to allow you to enter a key of the valid Win 7 or 8.1 without having to install it first.

Hello. I note Cumulative Update for Windows 10 version 1511: June 14, 2016 (KB3163018) has just came out. Does this include the previous cumulative updates (eg. KB3156421)? or does each cumulative update have to be applied separately?

Cumulative updates contain all previous updates, fixes. So, no need to install any previous updates. If you install over a vanilla system, it will install all the updates released till now whereas if you install on a system say patched with May update, it'll update only the necessary components.
There's also an update for the servicing stack which you would need to apply separately. Servicing stack update for Windows 10 Version 1511: June 14, 2016
And as usual there's a new version for Malicious Software Removal Tool too.

Thanks for that. Do I need to keep the previous stack updates and ms malicious software removal tool. Or do I only need the latest one.

Only the latest ones are required.
