So if you're trying to download windows 10 ISO files from Windows 10 / an updated browser, microsoft will send you to their landing page where they want you to download their tool. But you want the ISO.

To get the ISO, install an agent switcher and switch to an old Internet Explorer User Agent. Visit the Windows ISO page again. Now you can fetch the ISO.

Use Rufus to make the boot device.

I needed a way to easily backup new files from selected media from my phone to my windows. Here's a quick and dirty way.

Download some software

1. Download an FTP Server to your phone
2. Download WinSCP to your windows

Make a folder where you want your backup and create a bat script:

X:\backup\backup.bat

@echo off
set "ip=10.0.0.150"
::set /p ip="phone IP ([%ip%]):"

:: | marks start of excluded files
:: / at end of name means folder, they are recursive
:: ; to separate

"WinSCP.com" /command ^
    "open ftp://user:pass@%ip%:2221/" ^
    "synchronize local X:\backup\ / -filemask=*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.png;*.mp4;*.webm;*.pdf;*.txt|android/;Android/;emulated/;self/;cache/;_media/;LOST.DIR/;ANRSnap/;Alarms/;AzRecorderFree/;Cardboard/;Huawei/;HuaweiSystem/;Notifications/;Podcasts/;Ringtones/;TTImages_cache/;airdroid/;caustic/" ^
    exit

:: pause

Now start the FTP Server on your phone, double click that bat!
