The service is customizable, e.g. you can choose which edition you are going to download, which language it should include and which features. The best thing about the UUP Dump service is that it even doesn't require you to be a Windows Insider to download and create ISO images.
However, if a build of Windows 11 is officially available, we suggest you to use the official ISO images instead. They can be downloaded using by following these steps, similar to any of Windows 10 releases.
So, UUP Dump becomes your best friend when you need to reinstall an Insider Preview build from scratch or in a VM. It saves your time by eliminating the need to install an older Windows 10 or Windows 11 build to upgrade it to the latest one.

e for create bootable key rufus works well? thanks
It doesn’t support secure boot.
Otherwise Rufus is fine and can be used to build a media from such ISOs
Every time I have ever tried to make an ISO from UUP Dump, it always says this;
“Current directory contains spaces in its path.
Please move or rename the directory to one not containing spaces.”
Even though there are no spaces, the folder is named “windev”. do you see any spaces there?
There are no spaces in the entire path, but it has always said that there is.
Is there a solution to Microsoft’s naming failure?
It is c:\windev?
Or it is c:\user\you user name with spaces\desktop\windev?
The latter has spaces.
Anyone know why most current UUP Win 11 (258) returns with edition file not found?
correction version 458
The ISO files downloaded from UUP-Dump for the Ni builds or made with the UUP-converter using the files from Windows\SoftwareDistribution no longer work with the Ni builds above 22557, all the resulting ISO files are missing all the basic WindowsApps and SystemApps.
Trying to update using the ISO or doing a clean install result on a number of different problems.
Including error 0xc1900401 on any subsequent check for updates with Windows Update.
The clean install produces a system that is missing all the basic Apps including Settings, MS Store, SecHealthUI etc, making the system useless.
Basically, all the resulting ISOs for the Ni builds 22H2 up to 22581.1 are unusable.
The only one that works correctly is the official MS insider ISO for Build 22579.
