This is a question about Windows 10 support when you install or repair
Windows 10, today, using an old circa 2019 single-layer DVD ISO?
1909 (November 2019 Update) => 22H2 (October 2022 Update)
Given that Windows 10 support had ended on October 14, 2025
and assuming you haven't signed up for the 1-year of extended support.
In a recent thread I outlined why this question is being asked:

Fundamentally, I dodged that bullet by putting the latest Windows 10 ISO
onto a >8GB bootable flash drive (using Rufus to do all the heavy lifting).
But the whole time I was wondering if by installing a circa 2019 Windows 10
ISO, whether or not Microsoft would update it to 22H2 (i.e., the final
Windows 10 release) given we have not signed up for the support extension).
Q: Does Microsoft update an older 1909 install to 22H2?
A: Probably. But has anyone ever tested that out recently?
Note that I assume Microsoft WILL update any old Windows 10 to 22H2,
but I don't know if they will update any old Windows 10 to 22H2.
Also note this brings up another potential "trick" which is to "repair" any
Windows 10 installation AFTER October 14 2025 with the "latest Win10 ISO".
That is, maybe we can get all the latest updates (without being in the
extended-support program) up to early October 2026 by simply using the
latest ISO of that time in the future, to "repair" our Windows 10 setup.
Dunno.
