    Hello,
    on the old computer I have installed Windows 10 build 10240.
    I want with the same Microsoft account install Windows 10 build 10240 to another computer. Is that possible? Can I have multiple installations of Windows with the same account?
    How to install a clean version of Windows 10 build 10240 (without any upgrades)?
    Thanks a lot,
    Best regards,
    Florijan

    Thanks a lot for your reply.

    Could you give me step by step how to find esd files and how to create an ISO file?

    Once again, thank you very much

    Here is the simplified method. Easiest to execute in my opinion.

    As a matter of fact, soon after I had upgraded to 10240 through Windows Update, I used the following method and created an ISO file. I keep it in my external drive in case I need it to reinstall.

    1. let's select Downloads folder as your destination folder.

    2. Right click inside Downloads folder > click New > click Folder >  name it "10240 ISO "

    3. Click This PC > click open (double click) C drive > click open $Windows.~BT > click open Sources > scroll down to alphabet "I " and locate Install.esd > copy that file to "10240 ISO" sub-folder.

    4. click at ESD Decrypter tool here > click Save As >  save it to "10240 ISO" folder.

    5. Unzip the ESD Decrypter Tool and keep the unzipped ESD Decrypter in the same "10240 ISO" folder.

    6. You now have a decrypt.cmd file. Right click at it > click Run As Admin

    7. Under Enter your option, type 2. ( do not type 1).

    8. sit back and wait. When it finishes it will have an ISO in the "10240 ISO" folder.

    1. You can use the same Microsoft account and install build 10240 in as many computers as you want.

    2. No. You cannot do a clean install of build 10240 because there is no build 10240 ISO file available. You need an ISO file to do a clean install.
    However, if you have installed build 10240 through Windows Update, you can use its esd file to create an ISO file. Burn it to a bootable media such as DVD or USB of at least 4 GB. Then, you can use the bootable media to do a clean install.

    • Windows 10 Home build 10240 - TX9XD-98N7V-6WMQ6-BX7FG-H8Q99
    • Windows 10 Pro build 10240 - VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T
    • Windows 10 Enterprise build 10240 - NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43
      From the Principal PM Lead at Microsoft.
    These keys will not work. Please do not try them.

    As we prepare for the public release of Windows 10, we need Insiders to validate the upgrade paths with Build 10240. If you upgrade to 10240 from an activated prior Preview build - you'll get activated automatically on Home and Pro Editions.

    For Enterprise editions starting with build 10240 - you'll need to activate with your organization's activation keys (KMS or MAK).  Post your questions related to Windows 10 Enterprise Insider Preview in the TechNet Forum here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/home?category=WinPreview2014&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc

    Windows 10 is intended to be installed on Genuine Windows devices, whether devices in the Windows Insider Program or those taking advantage of the free upgrade offer
