How to Download Windows 10 Disc Image (ISO) File

Step 1: Visit the Microsoft Software Download Website

To initiate the process of downloading the Windows 10 Disc Image (ISO) file, navigate to the official Microsoft Software Download website exclusively from a Windows 7, 8.1, or 10 device.

Download the Media Creation Tool

Once on the website, locate the 'Windows 10' option and click 'Download Now.' This action will download the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool, which is essential for creating a bootable USB drive or DVD for installation.

Step 2: Run the Media Creation Tool

Execute the Media Creation Tool once it has finished downloading. Select the 'Create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file)' option from the tool's interface.

Choose the File Type and Destination

Indicate your preference for the installation media type (USB drive or ISO file) and the desired location for saving the ISO file. If you choose to create an ISO file, specify the destination folder on your computer.

Step 3: Complete the Download

The Media Creation Tool will now download the Windows 10 ISO file. Depending on your internet speed and the size of the file, this process may take some time. Once the download is complete, you can use the ISO file to create a bootable USB drive or DVD and proceed with the Windows 10 installation.

Additional Notes:

• Ensure you have sufficient storage space on your computer or external drive to accommodate the ISO file.
• The Media Creation Tool can also be used to upgrade your existing Windows 7 or 8.1 system to Windows 10 directly.
• For a clean installation of Windows 10, you will need a separate bootable USB drive or DVD, which can be created using the ISO file.
