Why use this method when w11arm_esd2iso and CrystalFetch are now available?
https://github.com/Technogeezer50/esd2iso
https://github.com/TuringSoftware/CrystalFetch/
I made it public before the two were released and people didn’t seem to know esd files can be freely obtained from Microsoft and converted into iso files.
