    Hi kingmuhammad2016,

    Let me clarify a few things and show you some of the options:

    Windows 10X was a special version of Windows that Microsoft planned but never released. That means there’s no official download from Microsoft.

    FFU file is like a big copy of a whole disk (all the files and settings). People use it to install Windows on a device quickly.

    Reference: Capture and apply FFU images

    Important: These are not official sources and may violate licensing terms. Use them only for testing or research, not production.


    Can you extract an existing FFU?

    • Yes , you can mount or apply an FFU using DISM:
    dism /apply-ffu /imagefile:X:\path\to\image.ffu /applydrive:\\.\PhysicalDrive0
    
    • To mount and explore the FFU, you can use:
    dism /mount-ffu /imagefile:X:\path\to\image.ffu /index:1 /mountdir:C:\Mount
    
    • You’ll need Windows ADK and WinPE tools for this.

    Why the 50-character requirement?

    That’s just a forum posting rule to ensure enough detail in the question. Adding a few extra words usually resolves it.


    Hope this helps! If it answers your question, please mark the answer so others can find it too.
