2020.11.17: parse first commandline parameter as version, example: MediaCreationTool.bat 1909
2020.12.01: attempt to fix reported issues with 1703; no other changes (skipping 19042.630 leaked esd because it is broken)
2020.12.11: 20H2 19042.631; fixed pesky 1703 decryption bug on dual x86 + x64; improved cleanup; label includes version

2021.11.03: multiple download methods; improved automation; improved auto.cmd; moved autounattend.xml to boot.wim
            revising 11 setup bypass (wip) - not being content with any methods is the reason why I've not updated in a while
2021.11.09: skip windows 11 upgrade checks with setup.exe (not just auto.cmd); no server label; local account on 11 home
            auto.cmd has more fixes to keep files and apps on upgrade; reliable ui automation; alternative downloaders

2021.11.16: 10 19044.1288 - official release of 10 21H2
            10 19043.1348 - newest 10 build - don't ask why ms is releasing these as such, it's not the first time
