Just finished updating via ISO.
I used Rufus method to create bootable USB (just to be safe).
You can install the update without transferring the ISO to usb, just open the ISO in the hard drive, it will automatically mount on a virtual drive, open it and double click setup.
Update was smooth and pc booted up.
Cortana, edge extensions and all other features are working fine.
Apps are all working (no crashes). Love the new interface. Surprised to see the new defender icon.
So many people reporting problems while updating through the windows update.
I used the ISO for 1511 update as well.
I never use windows update for big update.
This is what I think, I may be wrong.
Windows update downloads each and every file individually so there are chances of files getting corrupted.(download getting interrupted).
People with high bandwidth might not find this to be a problem.
I have a 1Mbps slow connection and I am not risking it.
By downloading the ISO, it is a resumable link. You are able to download and pause as you wish.
And all the files are safe inside the ISO file.
IMHO people who got issues updating, I recommend using the ISO for a smooth update.

The official non insider ISO gives you the version 14393.0 (without the cumulative updates .5 and .10)
You can download the cumulative updates which are relatively small in size later via windows update.
