Need safe 1511 ISO
I need a safe 1511 ISO to do a repair. My PC just will not upgrade to newer releases. Hours with MS support.
My current belief is that key parts are missing from my installed 1511. I thought I was on 1607 from badly worded upgrade failure messages from MS. I do not want to lose my applications. I went from 8.1 to 1511 with everything intact. The install was on a new motherboard. I broke down and bought a new system (I was waiting for the next Intel iteration) because I could not get the old one to upgrade. Did not resolve the problem. I have tried installing newer drivers to reflect the new board; still no success. I have a slightly older MB (both from Asus) that works just fine. I have considered an exorcist and sacrifices of small mammals.
MS seems to be systematically eliminating access to earlier ISOs and tools from the current version. Presuming we all upgraded successfully seems wrong. I may be hallucinating as well, but I swear something deleted IOSs I had previously downloaded. And their install app has absolutely no flexibility.
Anyway; anyone with a link to a safe source?
