WTB Windows 10 Pro retail install disk

The media creation isos are also usually patched to the latest service pack upgrades. A retail disc is going to be back at least what, six OS upgrades by now?
 
Speaking of which: ZM-VE350 is an enclosure that can mimic a bootable DVD. I have a 2TB SSD in it and put all of my ISOs on it rahter than fiddling with USB drives. I have multiple revisions of tons of OSes on it and have a FAT data partition. Comes in very handy for rescuing failing PCs and doing forensics with some purpose built linux distros.

Rather than preparing a bootable USB drive, you just throw all of your ISOs in a folder on the drive. Installs are at least a little faster too.

Can you put multiple ISOs in it? If so, how does it work? Like will it show up as though you had multiple optical drives?

That's actually super spiffy. Recently came across Ventoy to allow multiple bootable iso's on a single flash drive...Super convenient for keeping system tools on a single drive. Was nice to see my keychain of drives reduce in quantity =P.
