Sometimes I hate when I fix something in a way that I'm not supposed to. Like "If I didn't know about this thing that I don't have any particular reason to know, I'd be fucked."

And then you dd the iso to a flash stick, boot it, start into the windows installer, and watch it shit itself because MS can't even make an iso that just fucking works.

You can also extract the media creation tool for the iso

The creation tool also just lets you save the iso - but for some reason the media creation tool gives you a different iso than if you spoofed a non-windows user agent on the windows download website so that it gives you a direct link to the iso instead of getting you to install the creation tool. And for some reason only one of them worked with DISM to repair my system in order to be able to run windows update successfully.
