Microsoft has unleashed Windows 10 onto the world, and if you were looking to perform a clean install instead of upgrading from Windows Update, the Redmond giant has made ISO files available for download. ISOs are listed for Windows 10 Home and Pro versions.
Before you go ahead with the download, ensure you have the following:
- An internet connection (internet service provider fees may apply).
- Sufficient data storage available on a computer, USB or external drive for the download.
- A blank USB or DVD (and DVD burner) with at least 4 GB of space if you want to create media. We recommend using a blank USB or blank DVD, because any content on it will be deleted.
- Read the System Requirements.
- If you will be installing the operating system for the first time, you will need your Windows product key (xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx). For more information about product keys and when they are required, visit the FAQ page.
You can run the following command in CMD to find the product key associated with your Windows installation: wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey.
Customers interested in Enterprise editions can download the ISOs from the MSDN Subscriber Downloads page. Head down to the link below to grab the ISOs, and while the files download, make sure you read our comprehensive Windows 10 review.
Thanks everyone for the tips!

Official Windows 10 ISO files now available for download
Pages
Hey, Is it possible to upgrade to Windows 10 using this iso file? Will this iso ask for product key? Please tell me
For the Enterprise ISOs, what about the one that I can grab from the TechNet Evaluation center? Will that need a key during a clean install? It says that it is a 90 day trial, so, I should be pre-activated with a 90 day evaluation key, and then I can put in my actual key after the install, right?
I've installed windows 7 on my laptop after buying license from ODosta Store at: ODosta Store
I want to activate it to get free upgrade from windows 7 professional to windows 10 home.
I'm now confused, How to activate and upgrade to windows 10.
Please mention within details.
I'm asure that Microsoft Team will remove all ISO links over the web just like they did with Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 as well.
This page really has all of the information I needed about Windows 10 and didn’t know who to ask. Thanks for the link.
SSC, HSC, IBPS and more exam results
Thank you for this.

Hello,
There is another way. I prefer do download and install the windows 10 by myself so I can keep control of what's happening. If you want, I've made a video to show you how can you download and install windows ten even if you don't have a serial number.
You don't need any crack, serial number or anything else. Just an internet connection. Enjoy it
You can watch it on youtube here: https://youtu.be/5eTe8uGcG90
My laptop was preinstalled with windows 8 but now i have downloaded w10 iso file. It is asking me the product key. where will i find my product key to install
I dont thick this is official version release of windows 10.you can see this after installing and check dxdiag.It is showing windows 10 build 10240.I dont know but i may be wrong also.
As instructed by MS, I tried creating an installation media through 'Media Creation Tool', i.e. a bootable USB, but it just doesn't start downloading anything, it remains at 'Progress 0%', no matter how long you leave it that way. I have tried the process numerous times but just cannot download, can anyone help?
Please help me. I am downloading the Microsoft tool to upgrade to W10 because I don't want to wait. If the upgrade fails, am I able to use my laptop or will I need to do something else? I'm not tech-savvy.
Please Share the .iso file link for both (x86 & x64) single iso file for Windows 10 Pro. and windows 10 basic, as download through Microsoft setup never completed.
I tried to download more then 5 times every times after 80 % downloader is disappeared, and when try to open the downloader(Media Creation Tool) file provided by Microsoft, it says "setup coul'd not start properly and try running windows 10 setup again" after restart it says same message......
After clear temp files then it will start and after 50% -80% it disappeared again.....
Provide a proper solution....
I updated my PC from WIN 8.1 to WIN 10 via ISO it worked perfectly for me.I didn't have any problem regarding lose of data or key it just installed it like upgrading
Wow, there is a lot of Stupid in this thread.
Just upgrade Windows. From Windows Update if you dare, or from mounting the ISO which matches the edition of Windows you are currently running, and running setup. If it asks for a key, click "skip this"
If you want a clean install, do that after the upgrade is complete and activated. Or just use the Recovery option in settings.
i have replaced my hardrive to SSD so before replacing i was using windows 7 on that hardive but after replacing it when i installed windows 10 on my ssd the windows is not activating.
it gives me this error 0xc004f0540
i have also deleted that windows 7 on that hardive
please help!
ok luckly i before fresh install saved the original set up files on a disc bobed it in my c started the windows 10 update an this version popped upactive with my original 10 key so all is good made a system retore image took about 2 dvds all is well seems to be all well and good so far
There seems to be some problems with Products Keys and it's not such plain sailing for a lot of people. If you are upgrading from an OEM edition of Windows 8 (8.1) and have at some time installed a new hard disk and cloned your saved back-up, the BIOS log of the Product Key may prove useless when updating to Windows 10.
The OEM log contained in BIOS can continue to be valid for Windows 8 (8.1) and it can even show that it is activated in the System window. Try to install Windows 10 as an upgrade will stop dead at the point when you insert the Product Key and tell you it's Invalid.
Microsoft clearly didn't see this one coming and can't explain why Windows 8 is shown as Activated, but does not allow the upgrade to 10. I can understand their obsession with Piracy (to a point!) but as this is supposed to be a free upgrade for most people, what's the point of antagonising a few. It seems that the only way to bypass this is to approach the Computer Shop that sold the computer almost two years ago and have them supply a new disk, which, due to the cost, is a pointless expense.
Looks like an overdue venture into Apple territory for me!
I didn't see any option for the pro version, just 32 bit or 64 bit. when i ran it it just downloaded the files for the home version.
I can't find iso file after download ?
Still waiting for Windows 10 to come through WU.
ive downloaded win 10 home iso using media creation tool...and when i juz run the setup is needs product key...how can i get my product key???
Windows 10 upgrade went fine on windows 7 ultimate. At the end it rolled back to 7 again. Spent 4hrs of time for nothing.
i am using oem machine (sony) and haven't upgraded yet,, actually by mistakenly i lost my get windows 10 app thats why i am choosing this way for getting win 10,, since i also reserved my system for getting updates of windows 10,, but haven't got any notificiation regarding windows 10 download,,, hence i tried to upgrade from media creation tool.. but it pop up a message something happend ,hence i choose the other option and download the iso and burn a dvd,, now i am confused weather to run or not that dvd to upgrade my system,i fear it will lead to clean install and my system wouldn't activated with my currnet windows 7 product id
is it possible to upgrade to windows 10 from 7 through downloded iso,, if possible then how???
I upgraded from Windows 7 Ultimate but windows 10 says not activated
Hi, Harish! I read your page at this link: http://www.windowscentral.com/official-windows-10-iso-files-now-availabl...
You wrote:
"You can run the following command in CMD to find the product key associated with your Windows installation: wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey."
Is this command to get the product key for my current Windows installation, which is Windows 8.1Pro, or should I wait until I have installed Windows 10 and then run that command?
Hey, is this iso pro or home? please answer
Upgraded as tod got key did a clean install wiped my win7 recover drive used the win 10 key bang key blocked on fresh install cannot even get to restore win 7 ot totalty deleted my recovery drive did everything it told me to win 10 key wont work on this pc soo don't bother doin a clean install fecking tossers gonna download win 7 hopefully I can still use my original win 7 key to make it legit
i am unable to upgrade my pc,, there is a message "something happend" and it force me to close the window.now what should i do..eventually i also donloaded the iso file around 3.11 gb but i am confused weather i use it or not,, since i have been using a genuine windows 7 pc,, and have to upgrade first ..
tell me any soution,, should i install the iso file directly>>>
This was while you were trying to download Win10 from Windows Update off your Win7 PC? Or were you using the MS tool to download the ISO?
Anyone else having an issue with wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey ?
ERROR:
Description = Not Found
No I don't have an issue, but I've read that if you have an unlicensed copy of Windows then you'd get that error...
Strange. My version is legit. I Bought the Windows 8.1 during the $15 upgrade deal.
Has anyone been able to successfully create a USB boot image of Win10 64Bit (or both versions)? I've tried a handful of times on 2 different Win8.1 machines using the Microsoft tool, but towards the end I get a "Something went wrong" message and the utility shuts down. I'm using a USB 3.0 128GB jump drive that I formatted prior to using the utility. It could be my jump drive, but I wanted to check with anyone on this thread first. I want to perform a clean install now that I've upgraded to Win10 Pro. Thanks in advance.
Can I install Windows 10 Clean using ISO with a Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro prduct key?
Wondering if someone could help me out here. I ended up having to roll back my 10240 installation to 10162 due to a "Critical Process Died" BSOD on startup. Rolling back fixed the issue but now it's not seeing the 10240 update to upgrade again. I have Windows 10 Pro TP currently and would like to keep it as my old Windows 8 installation disk is Home edition. If I use the media tool to upgrade with the windows 10 iso, will i lose my product key? In other words, what's my best chance of keeping my Pro installation, using the media tool or waiting to see if windows update gives me the 10240 update?
I think I don't have genuine windows installed in my PC, but i used that command to find the product key of this OS (Windows 8.1 Pro), can i use that? will it work?
speccy will get you the key infomation google it speccy
If it that's easy to get the product key via CMD, why is there a whole market of programs that supposedly pull up your product key?
After upgrading from iso is it possible to make a clean installation !!
Do you think it's possible to write this iso to a 8gb class 10 sd card using the windows key from my computer that i won't upgrade, and then put the card into the raspberry pi 2?
As normal Microsoft arnt very forthcomming in its clean installs who ever thought of this should be doomed to hell no one wants to answer questions about clean install after you have upgraded thats nice of em all u get is install the update then do a clean install how !!!!!???!!! feck it im off back to win 7 should've known the newbies at micrsh!te would ball$$ it up just like 8/8.1 waste of bloody time and effort alls i wanted is a clean soddin install i qulified for the god dam thing i found the activision key yet no answers ! can i use the upgrade key to install a clean iso is it to much for them to handle a simple sodding question ! just aswell your making this the last big release of windows youve got it wrong bring back the team who did windows 7 least they knew what they was doing #shambles #bootstoasses

I upgraded from an official 8.1 os by way of tool off insider site. Everything went fine but not activated?
Plz help. How to confirm that my pc is downling the update (iso file)?. As now i dont even see that task bar windows ico? i have reserved for the upgrade.
Thanks for the support
i tried insider for few week got frustrated with system thread exception unhandled and did a clean windows 7 install. i tried updating to service pack 1 got a update error so i downloaded windows 10 pro x64 iso file . and did a clean install . now windows 7 key is not working with windows 10 .
there is seems to be some flaw in microsoft update process or might have restricted us on purpose.
So if i understand corectly, You Can do a clean install off Windows 10 and when they ask for cd key, I Can use my Windows 8.1 cd key ????
The product key command does not work. It gives an error!
I have an unofficial version of windows 7 professional.can I upgrade to windows 10 using ISO file
Using tech previw and want to install it clean without the key? Any solution?
For those of you wondering why that command supplied in the article isn't working for you, its because you don't have an OEM licenced version of windows. Retail keys/installs don't seem to work with it. I could be proven wrong but my 10 Retail installs here don't work, and my one OEM tablet does.
The w10 reservation has completed in my zenbook with oem w7, but the product key command does not work and gives an error!
that is a completely different issue. what is the message that command returns?
The softwarelicensingservice command is looking in your BIOS for the OEM embedded product key. If you built your system, or if your OEM didn't supply a key in the 0A2x ROM of your BIOS, then this command will just return NULL. This information probably should be supplied in the article.
Reading comments here is giving me flashbacks to my WinBeta IRC days with the XP/Vista/Win7 beta cycles.
I have a Macbook Pro and I want to install Windows 10 with Boot Camp, I need to install Windows 8/8.1 first and then upgrade?
Yes body!
Ok since apparently reading is a hard thing for some people here judging by the comments ill explain it even though 50 people already explained but people are still sitting on thier hands.
If you BOUGHT a windows 10 license you can do a clean install right away.
if you are getting the FREE upgrade you have to first upgrade from a legit Windows 7 or 8. Your key is then stored in MS's cloud and THEN you can do a clean install whenever. From what i hear its something to do with your motherboard information so if you change that you gotta get a new key.
Downloaded windows 10 now the screen will not stop jumping and monitor is constantly running.
Have already checked compatability first and everything was fine.
One question.Did someone do a clean install and have it most of drivers in it.Second question.After updating to 10 my comp. was slow and I didn't have that problem on 7 someone else have same problem?
Windows 10 clean installation done in one of my non-genuine W8.1.
MS not stopping it because they need 1billion users in 3years..
Did it asked you any Product keys while doing Clean install..?
And Are seeing your Device Activated now..
And one more question will Clean install erases all Drives or only C : DRIVE ( Partition Drive )
Clean install doesn't actually erase exactly, unless you elect to format the partition, it moves old windows files to a folder called Windows.old. Yes only on the installation partition so C: Drive in your case.
Hey what happened to windows 10 mobile
Your question is out of syllabus at the moment ..
You can expect next mobile preview build ( probably 10240 ) within 1-2 weeks ..
And if you are asking about OS update then pls wait for 2-3* months
Meh, I'll have the new iPhone by then :D
Hello guys! Can I ask what is the name of the ISO file of W10 to be installed if I have a Windows 8.1 Single Language pc?
Windows 10 single language

I see many people are confused what to do with Windows asking for Product Key during installation for clean install. Many of you don't need Product Key and you can just click on skip and contine with installation. When you are done with installation you will see your Windows 10 is already activated and ready to use.
This is what you need to do if you have computer from OEMs (Dell, HP, etc.) with preinstalled Windows :
1. Downlaod ISO and burn it to DVD.
2. Restart Windows and go to Motherboard Setup (BIOS).
3. Inside BIOS in boot section select your DVD Drive as first device to boot your system. Save and Exit.
4. Windows 10 installation begins from DVD and will ask you for Product Key and you need to click on Skip. (I tried my 8.1 Product Key but didn't accept it.)
5. Windows will finish installation and after restart once again ask you for Product Key. Click on Skip again and let it finish installtion.
6. After installation is done you will see Welcome page and asking you to sign in.
7. After signing in and go through usual setting process you will be in desktop.
8. You Windows 10 already activated and you can start to use your brand new Windows 10 (Clean Install).
9. Most of latest drivers already installed but you might still need to download latest drivers for some of your components.
I have to say it is super smooth and fast and seems very promising OS. Probably the best OS ever released by Microsoft in term of speed and performance. Can't wait for upcoming features and future updates!
Is installation faster than insider builds?
So I can put in my legitimate windows 7 license key and I can download RTM windows 10 on my tech preview PC?
Done! Surface updated + workstation updated, SEP no longer works, needs up. Also MSDN Win 8.1 pro can be upgraded to Win 10 pro with same product key
G'day Lee Keels. I was hoping as you appear to be a genuinely knowledgeable person on the matter that you might be able to help me out. I reserved my copy way back when the invitation was originally offered. I have a genuine copy of windows 8.1. Looking back at my update history I can see about 9 attempts that have been made to update to Windows 10 Pro that have all failed. I was wondering if this would due to the high bandwidth usage. or something else. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What's the difference b/w
Windows 10
Windows 10 N
Windows 10 KN
Windows 10 Single Language
ISO files..?
Which one to prefer..?
Windows 10 is the best one unless you don't want IE at all.
Hello every one. I am insider and I did not have upgraded to windows 10 RTM as in my country internet is limited. can I do clean install and activate windows 10 for free from ISO file? currently I am not on insider build
Last build of Insider program is the Final version, won´t be an update for insiders. Said by Microsoft.
I clean Installed my pc with last win10 iso after tat I dint update the system.. I have tat product key.. Can I use the same key for this iso???? Please help me...
Guys I am running windows 8 not 8.1 in my laptop.. I didnt upgrade to 8.1 cause it would cause problems due to lack of drivers. My question is how to upgrade to windows 10 from windows 8 (not 8.1)? Is it possible? I am running a genuine OS. Thank You.
Not possible. You will have to upgrade to 8.1 before.
Yes it's possible but 1st you've to update your pc completely and Register for getting free upgrade through "GET WINDOWS 10" APP..
for upgrade see tis video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Gt1DtERykA
For Those who Dont have a genuine copy of Microsoft just use the Insider Program. So you can download Windows 10
then how insiders can activate windows 10 if they are not using genuine copy of windows? should I download windows 10 iso?
Insider program gives you product keys that change sometimes between builds but keep the copies activated. If you activate with the product key supplied with the insider build that's how it stays activated.
If it's true that you need to upgrade before doing a clean install then it should be included in the article. I'm just going to upgrade so it doesn't matter to me, but that could cause confusion if it's really the case.
I was about to add this myself. I have just downloaded a program after upgrading to Windows 10 to get my product key I on doing a clean install now.
Please someone has installed Windows 10 Clean Install yet? Post comments...
You can do clean install from the ISO.
with win 7 serial?
What I did not liked that start menu looking has been changed!
That is bad for me!
The left side of start menu makes win 10 look like win 7.
If it could be changed, I'll be glad to know from you insiders!
"When companies try to do hybrid approaches they usually fail. This failure is because the feature feels like it is bolted on or forced. However, the new Start Menu in Windows 10 works because Microsoft gives users a choice. Yes, the new Start Menu is a chimera, but it is a good one that could have existed even if Windows 8 did not. In fact, here are the many ways users can configure and use the new Start Menu
Just upgraded my Surface Pro 3 to Windows 10 and loved it. Works super fast and its much better than Windows 8.1
Ok everything installed perfectly fine from the media tool. Just skip when it asks for a serial and it automatically activates.
But that still doesn't give us a valid activation key.
My Windows7 Pro is NOT OEM, so I want to be able to install on any PC I choose. That means I need a Windows 10 key that isn't tied to the specific hardware of one PC.
You have to purchase a standalone Windows 10 key. This free upgrade promotion is only valid on the existing hardware.

Hi, I have an enterprise version of windows 7 (this was provided by my college a few years back). I don't have the product key for this. How do I get Windows 10
Have to purchase as enterprise does not have a free upgrade path. You'll need a valid product key or VLS to activate the Windows 10 enterprise, or a producy key for home/pro.
You may be able to become an insider tho? And instead of paying for a key you are just forever beta testing for MSFT.
Can we pause this download?
No. You can't.
Quick question.
The tool provided by Microsoft has two options.
To create the boot-media, which will mean a clean install correct?
The other option is to just UPGRADE, from the tool, will that result in a clean install or no?
I ran the Upgrade option on both of my domain computers (work and home) as the GWX thing would never launch and this just upgraded the OS and activated. Everything is exactly how I had it before (appart from the Windows Store apps some seem to be in start and others arnt but the applications are still installed)
So choose Upgrade I don't think you can do a clean install untill you have upgraded first to get the product key.
Anyone tried kmspico ?
It worked on preview version but anyone tried it on final pro ?
yes i did it worked for me
When will we get windows10 on mobile
I downloaded it in less than 10 minutes...

Thanks for the response, looks like Windows 8.1 license keys are different than Windows 10 license keys, I'm glad Microsoft is able to do the upgrade transparent
Why not upgrade and then make a clean install??
I did upgrade, but I like to have an ISO as well to my collection.
It was taking way too long to burn the ISO to my blank media, so I jusy brought an 8gb memory stick for £5, so that should work a lot better.
Hi guys! I'm an unfortunate genuine Windows 8.1 'ENTERPRISE' user. If I download Windows 10 Pro ISO, Can I use my Enterprise product key?
Unfortunately, no. You must upgrade to Windows 10 Enterprise. There is no way to "sidegrade"/"downgrade" to the Windows 10 Pro SKU short of a wipe-and-reinstall of the Operating System.
Anybody have any experience about HP Touchsmarts? Will the touchscreen work with Windows 10?
To be precise I have a "HP TouchSmart TM2-2190SA 12.1" Notebook (Intel Pentium U5400 1.2Ghz, 3GB RAM, 320GB HDD, Bluetooth, Fingerprint reader, Windows 7 Home Prem 64-bit)"
Will Windows 10 build 10166 ISO product key work with it?
Is it possible to upgrade to win10 using this iso.Will it ask for product key?
I have downloaded windows 10 ISO file. I would like to upgrade my laptop. So will it ask for a key while ugrading my pc?
I just did the same thing - tried to install from ISO - asked for key - key invalid
Win 8.1 single language to Win 10 home
It should have worked
It looks like I'll have to wait to upgrade via the auto upgrade, then reinstall the ISO to get rid of bloat etc
I will experiment with my laptop now. I will let you know what I see.
P.S: I am upgrading from Win7 ultimate to Win10 Pro
I tried to acvtivate the Win 10 install from my extracted Win 8.1 key - says the key doesn't work.
I have Windows 8.1 from Dreamspark with Key. Can i use it for Clean install Windows 10? I'm already Insider, but i want clean install. So my Dreamspark key will work on Windows 10 clean install? BTW my Dreamspark key valid only August. So Windows 10 will work after that if i install the old key?
For phones pls............
That won't happen today!
For Xbox One pls
Downloading the ISO and it is going so damn slow! Literally downloading at 100kB/s -.-
Should be downloading at about 6.5MB/s!!
I used a windows 8 OEM cd, added a pro pack upgrade, then updated it to 8.1 (this was a long time ago) which serial do I use so I get the windows 10 pro not windows 10 home. ???
Pro serial
I'm copying this bit from the Microsoft post where you get the ISO from, and may help clear some of the questions people are asking about..
Note
Thank you for posting this clarification.
Will I be able to do a clean install after I upgraded and uncounted problem running the windows 10 upgrade?
When Is it available for download on the Windows Phone??? Wanting to update my Lumia 1520!!
Windows 10 Mobile will be released later this year.
Hey tell me I have 8gb pen drive can. I install iso file in it
Yes, as stated in the article.
i am using oem machine (sony) and haven't upgraded yet,, actually by mistakenly i lost my get windows 10 app thats why i am choosing this way for getting win 10,, since i also reserved my system for getting updates of windows 10,, but haven't got any notificiation regarding windows 10 download,,, hence i tried to upgrade from media creation tool.. but it pop up a message something happend ,hence i choose the other option and download the iso and burn a dvd,, now i am confused weather to run or not that dvd to upgrade my system,i fear it will lead to clean install and my system wouldn't activated with my currnet windows 7 product id
How much gb or mb it take to download iso file if windows 10
The file size I got is 3.11gb
atleast 3.5GB
32 bit 2.7 GB, While 64 Bit See Here
Language: English (US) | Edition: Windows 10 Pro | Architecture: 64 Bit
ISO size: 3.10 GB (3,333,357,568 bytes)
Please give the md5 checksum of the ISO.
I was wondering about this, the ISO it created for me is the same size (3.10GB).
If it acts like the Windows 8 media tool then it should detect ur serial if on the Bios before it installs.
Heyo... I'm using windows to built 10240 ... And want to know..dose it have a time bomb ?
Yes, and it will explode in your face.
Windows update already have been downloaded windows 10. Now what I won't to fo.

Buy it dumb fuck
Or become an Insider forever.
You need to buy it. Just like the rest of us plebs.
Simple solution. Don't steal software.
Don't be this lame. Just buy it like the rest of us.!
Some people have no shame asking the same question over and over regarding how to get a free licensed upgrade of their pirated software.
And ***some*** just don't care
I tried to download Windows 10 Pro x64. It stopped twice at "Something happened""
Yah, they struggling to cope with load.
Try now, has improved.
Can I just install windows 10 along with windows 7 running in my laptop? Like Dual Boot?
Yep sure can
Please tell me the procedure.
Make a second partition on ya HDD, download iso in ya already installed windows, run setup.exe in the iso, make sure you install to the second partition you just made on ya HDD. Job done.
Downloading it for a clean install yet 82% downloaded.
My computer came with windows 8 single language, what if i download windows 10 pro will my embedded key still work?
how to know my windows 8.1 is genuine ?
If you had bought it then it'll genuine. Or if you have downloaded torrent/online free copy then it is pirated.
If you have to ask, then i am sure its fake.! A genuine OS is one which you had purchased or one which came preinstalled on your system, if it came preinstalled then there probably should be a Product key sticker at the bottom on your laptop or under the battery.
@Siddharth - that's no longer the case (regarding product key stickers). My SP3 has NO product key of any description, anywhere. It's all stored in the UEFI (BIOS)
1) i bought Lenovo S405 with preinstalled Windows 8.
2) using pendrive i done backup of my os mistakenly i deleted partion(which in return stopped function of one recovery key).
3) i installed unix thinking i would learn but i didnt find time so using my pendrive got back win 8.
4) i became insider out of curiosity and installed 1st build of win 10 but it was not upto my expectation so tried using my backup pendrive which corrupted somehow.
5) with no option left downloaded win 8.1 from torrent and installed it was showing windows is activate and i used to get every update.
6) i got win 10 update using right now which also displaying windows is activate.
So,i want to know wheter iam using genuine os or not.....
Thank you.
it's genuine ;)
Devices created for windows 8 use a system where the product code is hardcoded to the machine, you can't delete it (at least easily afaik), and it will be detected everytime you install a copy of it.
I'm a little confused by the options.
What is the difference between Pro and Pro N?
And I have some systems that are Windows 7 Home, some that are Windows 8.1, some that are Windows 8.1 Pro. If I select Pro, does that mean I have to download again for Home?
If I select both x86 and x64, does that mean I get an ISO that applies to any kind of PC and it'll detect the appropriate architecture?
I liked the old setup where you had specifically named ISOs and it was all in clear language.
Pro N is without a browser. MS had to offer a version like this because some courts somewhere saw it was unfair that MS was promoting IE unfairly.
Yes, you need to choose whether you want to download Pro or Home. Not hard to work out, depends on the edition you have a key for already.
If in doubt, download the "both" option for x64 (64-bit machines) and x86 (32-bit machines).
makes me laugh about google chromium and android as they include chrome browser, yet they don't get slapped by the law!
Nishe lol
Last version I've installed on my PC was 240. Does this mean that I don't have to perform an upgrade? And regarding the S/N is it the one I've got for v240 as well? Thanks
I have downloaded ISO file of Windows 10 Pro, i have pirated Windows 8.1, i dont have key. any solution?? how can i install Windows 10 Pro without key??
You can't. Either buy it or become Insider forever. We will not help you with piracy!!! (Pssst.. the internet might help you, don't worry)
Dude, Windows 8 was $15. $15!!!!!!!
Winver anyone?
"Customers wanting to try enterprise need to go to Volume Licensing Services" INCORRECT. As I advised you, MSDN subscribers can access Enterprise ISO and VHD from MSDN Subscriber Downloads.
Fixed. Thanks!
Even Microsoft say to visit the VLSC for Enterprise (http://www.windowscentral.com/ext?link=http%3A%2F%2Fclkde.tradedoubler.c...).
Pretty sure we don't have a MSDN subscription, but use Volume Licencing. So we wouldn't be able to download from MSDN
I have 2 MSDN subscriptions, one personal, one work issue and I'm telling you it is available. You can check yourself by typing MSDN subscriber downloads into google, you can see the downloads without an MSDN subscription, you do have to be a subscriber to download tho.
To answer a number of ridiculous questions... No, you can't install a genuine copy of Windows 10 if you don't have a genuine Windows 7 or 8 license... The only other way you'll be able to install a genuine copy is to become a perpetual Insider...
The investment for a genuine license is worth it... If you can afford to purchase a PC, smartphone, or even post in this forum (internet isn't free, you'll still need a device even on free connections), then you certainly can purchase a genuine license...
Would it be possible now to procure an insider build to become an insider? And how?
Thanks!
Of course, just go to insider.windows.com to sign up.
Now they dont let you download previous builds. It redirects to Downlaod W10 page!
That means anyone running pirated copy of Windows just have to be an insider for upgrading his computer to genuine Windows 10! Is it so??
If you have a pirated copy of Windows, joining the insider preview will not give you a genuine copy of Windows 10. You will essentially become a beta tester for all future Windows 10 updates. You will have access to all the newest features/updates before people that aren't in the insider program, but the OS may be buggy and or unstable. If you leave the insider program you will no longer receive any updates for the OS until you either sign up again or purchase a legitimate license.
Daniel, can you make a guide with the methods of installing a clean version of Windows 10 ?
Thank for Sharing Information Here, My queation is We Downloaded ESD file yesterday and converted to ISO. today they has releashed ISO officially, later i found that the official ISO size is different from ISO which is create from ESD file version is same can you tell the difference? bwtween those.
