Note that a new smaller switchless installer of Office 2007 (every update was merged) is available in the message https://www.nomaher.com/forum/index.php?topic=14153.msg39312#msg39312
What's new:
non slipstreamable updates gkall.msi and ofv.msi were merged.
saveaspdf.exe was deleted (already included in the installer)
outlook was removed (cab files were rebuilt)
The sfx was recompressed with a lzma2 sdk.

QuoteSo it's a simple question of removing autounattneded.xml from the ISO? Or is there anything else that needs to be removed?
That's correct. It's the simplest way to install stock ISO that doesn't have edge and most uwp apps.

QuoteSo just to sum it up: Mounting the ISO and performing an upgrade with setup.exe will work? I ask because other Windows ISO's I've done this don't ask for an activation code or anything like that.

Let me know and I'll give this a shot on the VM and let's see what happens.

BTW I'm not too concerned with all that garbage they put. I use a goodie call Windows10Privacy that gets rid of all that crap. Hibit Uninstaller is also excellent for removing unwanted garbage apps.

How you can type all this using your phone is beyond my comprehension  :)
That is because unattended.xml can't differentiate it as in-place upgrade or clean install and simply asks the same prompts as clean installation process.
You can skip the license and install to existing C drive which will have windows.old folder after successful in-place install.
If you noticed WinApps folder in root the ISO that's where vc++,dx9 and other things are installed from xml file.
I did type now from the PC as it takes too much time to type from the phone
