I saved the install.esd from my MBP and one from a Lenovo (did not delete itself) I was able to extract the iso from the Lenovo but not from mine. All I have to do now is get it onto the USB (which I formatted for it)
I know I chose the harder way to do this but it wasn't any easier. As I go along I discover there's something else I have to download, something else I have to do and now the monthly data allowance has been used up
I read somewhere that getting the iso onto the USB in Disk Utility will create a machine-specific installer, but doing it on a Windows machine will be generic (is that the right term?)
A couple of other things to mention - When I was waiting for Windows 10 to download, I had a window open where I knew the install.esd file would be. I saw the folder populate with files and folders and I scrolled to where it should be but I didn't see it at all. But as mentioned I found one just like it in a folder named "ESD" The Lenovo did not have a folder named ESD and the "install.esd" file from both machines are about the same size. I'm pondering if mine is the right file, but a Bootcamp version
My plan was to capture the install.esd file and make a bootable USB installer out of it and install Windows 10 maybe at a later time. But due to the situation I went ahead and installed it. I thought Windows 7 was bad but they're just getting worse
Not to worry I went to the Optometrist today
