How To Download Windows 11 Developer ISO - Windows 11

THIS THREAD IS OLD AS HECK, BUT WILL TEACH YOU SOME THINGS, IF YOU LISTEN~!
Spoiler: VIDEO
AUDIO PICKS BACK UP AT 00:57, This is a schmexy win 11 bug xD
Please note I lose audio shortly after starting the video, this is due to camtasia not working properly yet (EDIT 3/1/22~ WORKS NAO)in win 11.
I was unable to remedy this but audio will pick back up and you will learn some useful stuff.
I mean, I COULD have resolved the problem by simply resetting the pc... but...
I was hours into an upload on mega and was SOL XD
Hello, there are three ways to download Windows 11 ISOs, the first and most obvious way being through Microsoft themselves.
But what do you do when their site is getting overloaded with too much traffic?
Spoiler: UUPDUMP.NET
That's where UUPDUMP.NET comes into play.
Through their site you can build your own ISO of any image Microsoft has on their store!
Please watch my video if you are unfamiliar with how to use the command line tool uup provides to DL the iso.
Obviously you can type it in as well, but this is catered to beginners.
Here's the direct DL link on UUP for win 11 dev edition:
Summary for Windows 11 Insider Preview 10.0.22509.1011 (rs_prerelease) amd64, English (United States), Windows Home
Summary for Windows 11 Insider Preview 10.0.22509.1011 (rs_prerelease) amd64, English (United States), Windows Home on UUP dump. UUP dump lets you download Unified Update Platform files, like Windows Insider updates, directly from Windows Update.
uupdump.net
NOTE THIS LINK IS FROM BEFORE WIN11 FULL RELEASE. THIS IS JUST FOR RESEARCH~! AND PLAY~!
Spoiler: CLOUD LINKZ
The final way is to receive a cloud link, aka a download link from someone who backed up the iso to the cloud. I am doing that now!

How to use UUP Dump to download Windows 11 build 25375, 23466, or any ISO file - Pureinfotech
UUP Dump lets you download the Windows 11 build 25375 or 23466 ISO file or any other release for an upgrade or clean install. Here's how:
pureinfotech.com

A google drive backup link has been provided for the 1st dev image. Keep In Mind, Windows will release updates! Update often and keep an eye on UUP for anything new!

Our next lesson is going to be on the hypervisor, what it is, the two types, the differences between the two, and the reason why this ISO which is Windows home, is going to be replaced with Windows 11 Pro as soon as I can. You will be provided with a virtual machine image which is the hyper-v2 so it would have to be ran on vbox or VMware and hopefully we can set up a hyper V1 machine together as well, aka the fastest machine you can run virtualized!!
Please remember my posts are a learning environment and we are going through this together pitfalls and all to learn and comprehend why we do things the way we do in computing!
Now that I think about it I'll leave the home version up that way you'll have a choice and I'll label them when I get the pro version up just keep in mind if you want to use hypervisor one you have to have Windows Pro.
If you want to get ahead of the class, download the pro version https://uupdump.net/selectedition.php?id=50885f7e-cafa-46f6-bd24-b300f69c8510&pack=en-us and virtualbox
NOTE THAT THIS VM WILL NOT POST IN WINDOWS 11... MEANING IF YOU ARE ALREADY ON WINDOWS 11, THIS MACHINE WILL NOT WORK!! WIN 11 CANNOT RUN WIN 11 RIGHT NOW!
WIN 11 CAN RUN WIN 10 IN A VM...
-----EDIT 12//13/2021
THIS WILL POST FOR INTEL USERS I THEORIZE. IT IS US AMD USERS THAT HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE BRIDGE, AS IT IS AN INTEL SOFTWARE / PRODUCT...... WE WILL OVERCOME THIS IN MY NEXT LESSON. DAMMIT
This is the link to the Windows 11 Developer VM From Microsoft, For Windows 10 or below Users:
Download a Windows virtual machine - Windows app development
Start building Windows applications quickly by using a virtual machine with the latest versions of Windows, the developer tools, SDKs, and samples ready to go.
developer.microsoft.com
Download the VMWARE one, it Will Work In Virtualbox.
The Virtualbox Image Is Broke. The VMWARE Image Will Not Work On Vmware!
What a nightmare haha but we are getting there!

Got Buyer's Remorse? Want or Need to downgrade for any reason? Windows 10 Home ISO Backup Link has been added. Windows 11 PRO Backup now added. Note I haven't tested the 11 pro yet, that will be for our second class on hypervisors. For today, we Play! With MANYgHO$t ;D
Oh and no QQ over having to delete all your files!
I warned you this was HARD MODE.
Tee hee!
L2BACKUP
Give me several days to get Google Drive Links to backup dem backups... ahaha

I will add google drive and MEGA links for backup, if you are unsuccessful with Microsoft and UUP.
The developer Image is still uploading on my end, and this will take quite some time.
I literally filmed, editted and uploaded this article in the time it took to get the iso uploaded to 38 percent.
So bare with me.

[ v2.0 BETA ] BuilduntuVM - Compile Android ROMs with Windows or Mac OSX

--- copied with permission from nathanpfry.com ---
---If you would prefer a Builduntu install disc, click here to check out this post for an ISO---​
BuilduntuVM is a custom branch of the Ubuntu operating system for compiling Android ROMs from source. It includes everything you need to sync with the repo of your choice (Cyanogenmod, AOSP, etc) and start building.
Features:
- Xubuntu 16.04 base
- Installed all necessary software for compiling (list available in the guide link above)
- Unnecessary programs removed (media players, games etc.)
- Geany for editing code
- Repo located in ~/bin and added to PATH
- Quick access drop-down terminal (Ctrl-F12)
All you have to do is download the source!
The only requirement is that your host machine supports a 64 bit OS. 32 bit systems will not work!
Instructions:
1. Download and install VirtualBox for your host system from here.
2. Download the latest builduntu zip archive and extract builduntu.ova to your hard drive.
3. Start VB, click File > Import Appliance. Select "Open Appliance" and choose builduntu.ova, then click Next to import the virtual machine.
4. Highlight builduntu in VirtualBox Manager and open Settings. Under "System" you will want to give it more RAM and Processor Cores. The higher these values are, the faster you will compile ROMs.
5. Start the machine, pull up a terminal and initialize a git repo. Once the source is finished downloading, you're ready to go!

Wow! Thank you very much! Will try soon! :good:

Giving it a shot
Been oddly having trouble setting up my environment. Your previous post got me further then any other instructions. I'll give this a shot and see if it resolves my problem. Thanks in advance!
So far its working great! Thanks again! :good: :good:
I am on vmware fusion on Mac OSX 10.9.1, can I install your pre configured ubuntu on it?
Edited:
Oracle seems better in this circumstance anyhow. I was able to optimize ram and cpu settings but how to increase virtual drive. Its a PCIe SSD 1TB. I wanted to increase the VM up to 150GB. I did not see any easy way of doing it?
EDITED:
Figured out with some googling and using the cloneHD and ModifyHD tools built into virtual box and using terminal commands. I was able to resize the VWMK. The real tricky part is once that is done you have to resize in Linux because its still 60GB again google search found an easy way using gparted and modifying the /etc/fstab!!
Edited again:
I think the swap file was really set too low. I made it 16GB which is recommend by the source.android site. I know this helped a lot because it was lagging until I changed it.

I imported the download into VMware workstation with no problems. I didn't try exporting from virtual box nor with VM player although the player should work the same as workstation.. Maybe try importing the original download without messing with virtual box?

i downloaded and just imported into vmware nothing else.
did not work. using the same file on virtual box works okay.
Hmm idk then, like I said, using VMware Workstation 10 I had NO problems importing and running it

All said and done you're looking at 40-50 Gb.
It's 10 or so for the repo source of your choice and device trees (AOKP, CM, etc.) then the build process itself takes another 30ish. You can "make clobber" in between builds to free up that 30 gig, but any time you compile a ROM it's going to need that space again.
By the way - the virtual hard drive on the VM is dynamically allocated, so it will only expand out the space as it is required. However, it won't "shrink" back down again, even after you delete the files.

You might want to try BuilduntuVM instead.
Architekt is getting pretty dated, and I don't have any time or plans to update it. BuilduntuVM received a lot more attention and is up to date with the latest versions of OpenJDK etc. for compiling Android M.

Android studio emulator engineering build

I'm looking for a Android studio emulator engineering GSI build so I can develop (debug) system apps that use android:sharedUserId="android.uid.system" on the manifest. Where can I download them and how do I create a AVD to be used in android studio ? I'm looking for Android 8 or 9.

All I did was Google "Android studio emulator engineering GSI" as reflected on the following link...
https://www.google.com/search?q=Android+studio+emulator+engineering+GSI
... and the very first result was to the following link...
https://source.android.com/setup/build/gsi
... and if you go to that link, and scroll down a bit, you'll see the category "Downloading GSIs" that provides you with what your looking for.
If it's not on that page, then it's not available (yet) but, It looks like it is available.
Good Luck!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
UNLESS asked to do so, PLEASE don't PM me regarding support. Sent using The ClaRetoX Forum App on my Enigma Machine {aenigma = Latin for "Riddle" AND Nickname for "My Ex-Wife"}.
I had already looked at that page but the information is confusing. There's a page containing various userdebug builds for download for android pie:
https://ci.android.com/builds/branches/aosp-pie-gsi/grid?
There are three types of builds: eng, userdebug, and user; I'm looking for the eng type, which uses the platform test keys.
The other problem, is that if you follow one of the links you'll land on a artifacts page containing many files that can only be downloaded one by one: https://ci.android.com/builds/submitted/5467499/aosp_arm64-userdebug/latest/
I haven't found an engineering build, only userdebug and I have no ideia on how to download all the files in the artifacts page, but the main problem is that I found no instructions on how to setup an AVD that can be used on Android Studio and Windows 10.

Hmm... I've never, personally, looked into this using this type/specific avenue before myself.
I'm just thinking that, maybe/possibly, either @Qui Peccavit, @Droidriven or even @osm0sis may be able to provide a better answer/guidance to help you out with this.
I do wish you the best of luck with this!

Out of my wheelhouse, unfortunately. @phhusson is the GSI master.
I think that userdebug builds built by ci.android.com are signed with AOSP test keys, so that's good enough for you?
I don't really know how to plug in Android Studio with it though, but I heard it's quite easy
@phhusson, I just confirmed that a userdebug build uses the platform test keys; I unpacked a system.img from a userdebug build, checked the SystemUI.apk certificate, using keytool -printcert and the SHA1 is: 27:19:6E:38:6B:87:5E:76:AD:F7:00:E7:EA:84:E4:C6:EE:E3:3D:FA (the sha1 from the google platform test keys)
So...all I need to know is, using these files: https://ci.android.com/builds/submitted/5467499/aosp_arm64-userdebug/latest/
How do I create a AVD that I can use on Android Studio in Windows ? Any ideias?
@phhusson, you were right: its easy to get a userdebug build signed with AOSP test keys, they are available for download on Android Studio in the AVD manager section:
Go to Tools > AVD Manager > + Create Virtual Device > Select Phone, Nexus 5X > Next > Select X86 Images > Select Pie, Api Level 28, ABI x86_64, Target Android 9.0. > Next, etc, download and install.
All builds signed with AOSP test keys are identified by having a target name of Android 9.0, Android 8.1, etc. If you select an image, look at the panel on the right; it should say Android Open Source Project, etc.
All of the other builds of target user are identified with Target "Android 9.0 (Google APi's)" or "Android 9.0 (Google Play)", etc, and those are signed with dev keys, not test keys.
Thanks.

How To Guide Installing Ubuntu With a GUI + WSL2 Upgrade - Windows Subsystem For Linux + Premade Ubuntu Virtual Machines (and more!)

Hello Friends~!
I decided to write out a step by step guide to install WSL - Windows Subsystem for Linux, with an Ubuntu Distro, and integrated GUI using Xserver. As well as how to update WSL to WSL2.

SUPERR'S KITCHEN
Super Guide write up! Kudos
I've made a short video guide for any other nerds out there looking for a working method to unpack Android 11 system images. It involves the use of the PREMADE UBUNTU VM, located in the OP, and SuperR's Kitchen. (Or make your own linux machine~!)
I have updated the prebuilt Ubuntu machine listed in the OP. I will leave the original link in the OP as the file size is smaller, the only sacrifice with that edition is your time in updating.
If you value your time and would like a machine with jdk, python, adb and fastboot preinstalled and working, here is the updated copy:
Ubuntu.zip
drive.google.com
Ubuntu.zip (5.4G)
My Nvidia Shield posted to the VM immediately after running adb connect 192.168.0.5:5555 no fastboot drivers needed unlike windows. Adb pull commands work better in linux as well, as the windows file system is a little wonky and it wants to treat some items that are files on linux as folders in windows, which is obviously bad..
The linux machine was able to run 10-12 pull requests at once without bogging down the adb shell to the shield, allowing me to research and explore while pulling.... where as 2 pull requests at once in windows will cause a noticeable lag within the adb shell

And you are all set~!

How To Guide How To Backup Your Entire Hard Drive and Build an ISO

Hello Friends~!
I have built a new lab for us that will teach you how to use Several features of the Windows ADK to be able to backup your entire Windows system with any files, folders, apps, programs, or drivers preinstalled and saved onto an iso.
Spoiler: PRE-REQS
A USB Thumb drive is required for this method! (or any external drive or whatever workaround you have.)
Download ADK:

Spoiler: WRITTEN GUIDE
Spoiler: PREPARING THE USB
Once all the pre-reqs are installed... Copy the entire WISM Folder to your usb thumbdrive:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools\WSIM
Go to the link above, click on DeploymentTools in the toolbar and copy WISM and paste to the thumbdrive.

}
Then Copy your WIM File to thumbdrive.
Spoiler: WIM SOURCE
You can use MODWIN to source a WIM file from your Windows ISOs. In order to do so, run MODWIN.exe once to install MODWIN for us. Now in C:\MODWIN paste your Windows ISO contents into the ISO folder of MODWIN. Now run MODWIN.bat
Select option 2 to source WIM and option 1 for ESD.
Then you may choose whatever version of windows you want, and it will pull the wim for us.
When it is done you will have an install.wim file in sources that you can cut and paste to your USB.
Further knowledge about MODWIN can be found on it's official thread
Spoiler: VMWARE PREPARATION
We are using VMWARE because it is easier to sysprep and generalize an image in a VM as opposed to our host. You do not have to use vmware, you could use virtual box, qemu, or your host pc.
That being said, your machine needs to have it's network adapter turned off or removed entirely so it cannot connect to the internet. For good measure it is advised to build a new machine using only a Microsoft Windows 11 iso, not a Modded iso, and freshly install the image without internet so you have a clean sysprep environment.
This is how to disable internet during win 11 install using OOBE code
Spoiler: SYSPREP AND AUDIT MODE
In the VM Open:
Code:
C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep
Open Sysprep and tick the Generalize box. Leave it on reboot then select OK.
When you get to this screen press:
Ctrl + Shift + F3
This will cause the vm to reboot into audit mode.
Spoiler: BUILDING AN ANSWER FILE IN WSIM
Unplug and replug your usb thumbdrive. This will cause Vmware Player to send a popup. Select:
Connect the usb to the Virtual Machine.
To build a new Answer File:
Run Windows System Image Manager in the VM.
Select File, New Answer File, Yes.
Select your install.wim stored on the thumbdrive and Yes
Spoiler: THEN FOLLOW THESE STEPS
Then save the answer file to your thumbdrive with the name of "AnswerFile"
Spoiler: INSTALL AND SAVE SOFTWARE TO THE WIM
INSTALL ANY DRIVERS, SOFTWARE, OR FILES AND FOLDERS on the Machine
When done, In the VM Open:
Code:
C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep
To save, open command prompt by typing cmd in Sysprep's folder toolbar, then run:
Code:
sysprep.exe /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:E:\AnswerFile.xml
Spoiler: BUILDING WINPE
On your host PC, Search for Deployment, run as admin and paste:
Code:
copype amd64 e:\WinPE
To make a WinPE ISO:
Code:
MakeWinPEMedia /iso E:\WinPE E:\Winpe.iso
Spoiler: RUN WINPE ON THE VM
Select the WinPE iso in vmware, run the machine, then press any button to enter the bios, and select boot from cd rom.
Spoiler: BUILD THE NEW WIM FILE
Unplug and replug your usb to re-sync to the vm
Type into command prompt:
Code:
Dism /Capture-Image /ImageFile:"E:\install.wim" /CaptureDir:C:\ /Name:install
This will create a new install.wim file for us that we can use in MODWIN to create a new iso with everything preinstalled for us!
Spoiler: BUILDING THE ISO
Copy the new WIM file and paste it back into the ISO/sources folder of MODWIN. Delete the install.esd file if it still exists.
Run the MODWIN.bat script again, and Select option 7
Run option 4 to build your new ISO it will go through the steps shown above and produce a new ISO for you in C:\MODWIN\MOD

anyone who wants to try this, it is much easier than it looks. and once done you have your very own customized iso. you can also create the user and have everything preconfigured like dark mode or activation and more. thanks to @jenneh for the great guide!
p.s. for steam games i would suggest to backup your current games you want to a secondary drive and then restore them once you have reinstalled.
Wow! Just an amazing work!
Hi jenneh! I already commented on your other guide but I was also trying to follow this one and I ran into some problems figuring out how to follow this process:
- A multi-edition Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft does not seem to work for this process? I need to modify it with MODWINDOWZ first to have a single edition first.
- When I follow the MODWINDOWZ instructions to generate the final ISO, the install.esd or install.wim file inside the ISO can't be edited using WSIM, correct? I could only get it to work by using the mod.wim from this step
Instead of the final install.wim. Is it because of this part?
I am new to all this so I'm trying to understand everything.
@indospot Thank you for asking all this. This one may take me a day or two to give you a good answer on (Gotta finish assignment first). I wrote (or write all these silly guides) when I am brand new learning too, so I can try to remember how to do said thing. I only did this one once so I have to relearn it again and maybe it can be re-written easier and clearer haha. Bare with me Will share results when available and @ you like we did on the other thread

Haha it's the same thing here! We are trying to adapt this into an official tutorial on XDA and so I am trying to learn all the details so the instructions are as clear as possible. When it's published, I hope you can look at it and see if any changes are needed
@indospot okay now that I understand what's being asked
"- A multi-edition Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft does not seem to work for this process? I need to modify it with MODWINDOWZ first to have a single edition first."
Correct, if your windows iso comes with an install.esd file in it's Sources directory, then we need to source a WIM from it of our choosing. I updated the OP to show how to do this with modwin instead of the "classic" tool as you coined it before. You can use option number 2 in modwin to do this a lot easier.
"- When I follow the MODWINDOWZ instructions to generate the final ISO, the install.esd or install.wim file inside the ISO can't be edited using WSIM, correct? I could only get it to work by using the mod.wim from this step"
I also updated this step in the OP to use Modwin now. If you select option 7, then 4 it will be able to build the iso for us once the wim is replaced in the ISO directory, and the original install.esd deleted if it isn't already.
If there's anything else I can help with please let me know! Thank you for your time in testing these things and looking forward to reading anything you put out there!

Hi jenneh!
So after some further testing, I have discovered another issue, though I am not sure what causes this one. When I use modwin to extract a WIM file, I eventually run into a problem at the end. If I use the WIM file generated by MODWIN, the install.wim file that's created at the end using WinPE is much larger, around 12GB with only one program installed. When I build an ISO with it, Windows fails to install. It fails after I choose a partition to install to.

This method will definitely create a huge wim file, which is the sacrifice of having your applications or whatever it is you were trying to have preinstalled first. Why it is not installing after completion is a whole other question that I am afraid I don't know the answer to. For me mine installed but that was with 1 program added to the iso. Trouble is I still don't quite understand the basics of what we even did in it unfortunately, like the purpose of answer pages and whatnot. So I kinda am at a loss to answer these, sorry.

I did some further testing using MODWINDOWZ, and it turns out MODWIN wasn't the problem, but I don't know what it is. There was one time I got it to work, but I don't know what I did differently to make it work. When it worked, though, it was a smaller install.wim file at the end. This is the error I get:
I don't know what settings I may need to change. I'm just following the steps, yet I can't get it to work again. I did it once and I can't repeat it.
@indospot I was able to do all the steps just now and created a small wim in file size, the only thing I did differently than what was in the guide was I built the VM with No Network Driver so it couldn't connect to the internet. Maybe you can try this and see if it reduces the size? I will add that to the guide just incase
