This is interesting - just done a test using the downloader link from post #3 in

Windows 10 Recovery Tools - Bootable Rescue Disk - Windows 10 Forums

and it works!

This implies MS have removed the "front page" to restrict access - to stop getting overloaded when RS1 comes online?

That is NOT a MS site....it showed me this HeiDoc.net: The Technology Treasure Chest ...

It is a downloader that pulls the isos directly from the MS website - it is not a clone or anything.

Ok, I get you now, but the ISO right now is still the older release, until Aug 2nd.

Were you expecting otherwise ?:)

For benefit of unaware users, you have to redownload the MCT as old copies are linked to previous versions.

Windows 10


Oh - just discovered the links to Techbench website are coming up with page cannot be found error.

I was expecting it to happen, but a few doom and gloomers were thinking otherwise. I do believe they have been slow to update it with new ISO's in the past. Which is frustrating for those wanting to do a clean install instead of an upgrade.

Not working for me at all. Worked once about 20-30 minutes ago, now all I get is this error:





My internet connections is fine as you can see since I'm connected and posting here.

My guess is Microsoft changed the location of the files, or changed the access permissions. Somebody mentioned in another thread that Tech Bench was down? Related maybe?

It's too late.

Guess we wait until 8/2/2016.

Thats what I'm going to do....:)

Me. too.
