Windows Central Question

My internet data is limited to 1GB/day. Although Microsoft providing Windows 10 FCU iso and its link valid for 24 hours only, unfortunately i can't proceed with that one.
Now i found esd file to update windows 10 FCU from CU. Here is the link, [link redacted]
It it good download from that site. Thank you in advance..

What kind of trouble are you having downloading the link from Microsoft?

I deleted the link because it's not a good idea to download the link from a third party when Microsoft itself publishes the files. It's extremely difficult to know for sure if any third party is adding malware or something else into the files.

MS provide iso file which is about 4.38 GB approx and its link generated only valid for 24 hours. My problem is net data is limited to 1 GB per day. So i cannot afford with that option.

All the links in that site is pointed to download.windowsupdate.com domain., which i thinks owned by Microsoft. Then how it is injected with virus or malware ?. I'm asking whether it is safe to download esd file using that links?

You can download official esd file from Microsoft itself; if you want to save a little extra data, you could download the canonical UUP files, also from Microsoft. Go to the MDL website for the requisite info
