    • Option One: Download Latest Windows 10 ISO using Media Creation Tool
    • Option Two: Directly Download Latest Windows 10 ISO from Microsoft
    • Option Three: Directly Download Latest or Recent Windows 10 Insider Preview ISO from Microsoft
    • Option Four: Download Older Windows 10 Home, Pro, or Education ISO from Microsoft via GitHub - AveYo/MediaCreationTool.bat






    OPTION ONE

    Download Latest Windows 10 ISO using Media Creation Tool


    An ISO file from the Media Creation Tool (MCT) uses sources\install.esd which is a compressed version of install.wim, but can still be used as a source image for DISM.

    Before you begin, make sure you have:

    1. An internet connection (internet service provider fees may apply).
    2. Sufficient data storage available on a computer, USB or external drive for the download.


    ISO file for Windows 10 version 22H2 build 19045.2965 is currently available for download using this option as of May 10, 2023.


    1 Enable the TLS 1.2 protocol in Windows 7 or Windows 8.

    See also: How to enable TLS 1.2 on clients

    2 Click/tap on the Download button below, and click/tap on the Download tool now button at Microsoft's site. (see screenshot below)


    (Windows 10 version 22H2)

    Download

    3 Save the MediaCreationTool22H2.exe file (version 10.0.19045.2006) to your desktop, and run it.

    4 If prompted by UAC, click/tap on Yes.

    5 Click/tap on Accept for the license terms. (see screenshot below)

    Download Windows 10 ISO File-windows_10_download_tool-1.png

    7 Uncheck the Use the recommended options for this PC box. (see screenshot below)

    Leaving the Use the recommended options for this PC box checked will have the Media Creation Tool download an ISO that's the same language, edition, and architecture as the current PC.

    Download Windows 10 ISO File-media_creation_tool_use_recommended_options.png

    8 Select the Language, Edition, and 32-bit (x86), 64-bit (x64), or both (32-bit and 64-bit in same ISO) Architecture you want for the ISO file, and click/tap on Next. (see screenshot below)

    The Windows 10 option includes both the Home and Pro editions. The product key you enter during installation (Windows Setup) is what determines which edition gets installed.

    If you select both for the Architecture, you will need to use at least a 10 GB USB flash drive if creating Windows 10 USB installation media with the ISO.

    Your digital license or product key determines if Home or Pro gets installed during Windows Setup.

    If you skip entering a product key during Windows Setup, then you will be prompted to select to install the Home or Pro edition.

    With this tool do we still have to wait for "Get Windows 10" to upgrade a Win 7 or Win 8 installation?

    The upgrade files downloaded very fast, pretty much at my 50 Mb/s rate. The upgrade is presently installing on my Windows 7 main boot partition on my Dell XPS 8100.

    Edit: Its installed and working. It took about 2 hours including finding this tutorial and getting organized. The actual update was just over an hour. Installed programs are working although I haven't checked them all. If Office works is suspect everything else will too. All my shortcut icons are flashing every few minutes, perhaps it will settle down later. There is disk and CPU activity so its doing some housekeeping. Since the is an update from Win 7 there is no MS account login, I'll change that later.

    There are going to be a large number of Insider procedures that may need updating on this site.

    So this is basically the replacement for the Windows 7 DVD/USB tool, right?
