Importing Windows 10 Media
Download the latest Windows 10 VL Media from MSDN or VLSC Portal
and Mount the ISO on your MDT Server.
To Import the VL Media into MDT, from the Deployment WorkBench under ‘MDT Reference Share‘ then ‘Operating Systems‘ create a folder called ‘Windows 10’ Due to the release cycles of Windows 10 i’ve now started to create a sub folder for the version i.e 1803, 1809, 1903.
NOTE: You don’t have to follow this identical structure however this is how I’ve worked out the best utilisation of MDT over the years of using it and have changed me methodology as i’ve learn and seen other peoples setups.
Creating the Windows 10 Folder
On the right hand side from the ‘Operating System Folder’ Click ‘New Folder’
Enter the Folder Name
