Steps taken to fix the “.net 3.5 not installed on Windows 10″ issue:
1. followed this blog at [http://www.kunal-chowdhury.com/2015/08/windows-10-dotnet-framework.html] and [http://www.kunal-chowdhury.com/2015/07/download-windows-10.html]
2. Downloaded the media creation tool *MediaCreationToolx64.exe*
3. Ran the .exe and chose the 2nd option for creating installation file then select the ISO file and saved to c:\Documents\Windows.iso; it took more than 1 hour to download and created the .iso image for Windows 10
