Yes it still works. The new changes haven't been implemented yet. They 
might in 25H2 but if you download the ISO now (today) you can still use 
the old technique of running the setup.exe to upgrade your Windows 10 
while you are OFFLINE. Just select "I don't have Internet" at the time 
to installing.

You need "Upgrade" option to preserve your currently installed Apps and 
your personal documents. Backup is the buzzword when installing Windows 
because things can go wrong when doing it first time.
