(Video) How to Download Windows 11 ISO File using UUP Dump
HOW CAN I GET THE WINDOWS 11 ISO?
Technically, you can download the ISO file for any build of Windows 10 AND 11 available in the Dev or other channels. You only need to use a third-party tool like UUP Dump (link below).

WAIT, WHAT IS UUP DUMP?
What is UUP Dump? It’s an open-source dump tool that downloads Windows preview builds directly from Windows Update servers and then repackages the downloaded preview build into an ISO file.
CREATE A WINDOWS 11 ISO FILE USING UUP DUMP
Open the uupdump.net webpage in a browser and scroll down a bit on the page. Then, select your Windows build (I'll be choosing the latest Windows 11 build as of right now).
Next, choose your language and then click on the "Next" button. You’ll then see a list of "Editions screen with a Windows 10 editions checklist. The mention of Windows 10 here is normal because you’re only upgrading from Windows 10 Insider Preview Channel. Select your Windows 10 edition and click on the "Next" button to proceed.
On the next screen, select the "Download and convert to ISO" option under Download method section, and under Conversion options leave the default option as is.
Finally, click on the Create download package button.
The download package will be downloaded onto your PC. It’ll be a ZIP file so extract it in a separate folder, so that it'll be easier for you to access it.
Among the extracted files from the ZIP package, double-click on the uup_download_windows.cmd file. Make sure to run the file with administrative privileges! A Command Prompt window will open to download and generate your Windows ISO (in my case, the Windows 11 ISO).
Once the script is executed, you can monitor the progress in the CMD window. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS MIGHT TAKE A WHILE, SO PLEASE BE PATIENT!
The tool will automatically then download all required files and create an ISO file.
Once completed, the Windows 11 ISO file will be saved to the same folder where you extracted the package files of the UUP package.
Once you have the Windows 11 ISO, you can either create a bootable USB drive with it or mount it on your computer and run the "Setup" file from the Windows 11 ISO to install the update on your system.
