Download Windows 10 Pro ISO File Without Product Key From Microsoft

Download Windows 10 Pro ISO File Without Product Key From Microsoft

Microsoft Windows 10 is finally here, and according to Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella, it marks a “new era” for personal computing. It remains to be seen as to whether consumers and businesses around the world will agree with Nadella’s assessment of the operating system, but it’s safe to say that this is Microsoft’s most ambitious and potentially impressive launch till date.

We understand that the majority of users would have downloaded Windows 10 directly through ‘Windows Update’ as part of the free-of-charge upgrade process, but for those in need of an official Windows 10 ISO file, rest assured that Microsoft hasn’t forgotten about you.

Microsoft has clearly attempted to make sure that all bases are covered for this release of Windows. Although the company started initiating pre-downloads of the operating system to registered PCs approximately 24-hours before the official launch, it does appear to recognize that some consumers would require an official ISO image of the Windows 10 platform whenever the need to manually install or reinstall the OS on a formatted machine arises. The ISO image will of course allow for the creation of a bootable USB flash drive or DVD, to serve as an installation source.

Best of all, you don’t need any product key to download the ISO media file from Microsoft. Just about anyone can download it as long as they have an Internet connection. Though it is important to note that genuine Windows product key will be required during clean installation process.

As part of the ISO offering, Microsoft has created a relatively small check list of what’s actually required before beginning the download:

• An active and reliable Internet connection.
• Enough storage space available on the computer being used to download the ISO.
• A blank USB storage device or DVD with at least 4GB of space for the creation of media. There’ll also be the requirement for a DVD burner if that’s your chosen medium.
• Make sure your PC meets all other Windows 10 requirements
• As mentioned above, if you are doing a clean install, a genuine Windows product key will be required during installation process.

If all of those criteria are met then Microsoft has put up an official Windows 10 Disc Image (ISO) download page here.

It really couldn’t get any simpler, and it’s great to see that Microsoft has attempted to cover all avenues with this Windows 10 release.

Enjoy!!

How to Force Download Windows 10 Free Upgrade, Tutorial

Today is July 29, the day Microsoft launches final version of Windows 10. However unlike previous versions of Windows, Microsoft is doing a phase rollout of Windows 10 upgrade, which means not everyone will get the update on the same day.
But as they, where there’s a will, there is a way. And so if you are in the same boat as many others whose Windows 10 upgrade hasn’t automatically started downloading yet, you can follow the tutorial below to force Windows Update to download the update for you right now. I have personally tested this and can confirm it worked on my Surface Pro 3. There’s no reason why it won’t work for anyone of you on any other computer running Windows.

How to check if your PC isn’t already downloading the Windows 10 upgrade? Navigate to C:\ drive and see if it has a folder named $Windows.~BT (you may have to enable Hidden items to check this). If it is there, you are all set, but if it isn’t there, you will need to follow the instructions below to force Windows 10 downloading.

Ready? Lets do this!

Pre-requesites:

• Must be running genuine copy of either Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.1 Update.
• Must have all the previous updates installed from Windows Update.
• Make sure your PC meets all other Windows 10 requirements, you can check those here: How To Prepare Your PC For Windows 10 The Right Way [Guide].

Step 1: Make sure you have reserved your free copy of Windows 10. If you haven’t done this already, you can follow the instructions here on how to reserve your free Windows 10 upgrade.

Step 2: Run Windows Update, and make sure you are set to receive updates automatically.

Step 3: Navigate to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download folder and delete everything in this folder. Don’t worry, it wont ruin your system.

Step 4: Now run Command Prompt utility in Administrator mode. Simply search for ‘cmd’ from Start Menu/Screen, right click, and then click on run as administrator.

Step 5: Type this command and press enter: wuauclt.exe /updatenow.

Step 6: Now after a few minutes, check for updates in Windows Update. You should now see Windows 10 being downloaded on your PC. The size of this download will vary depending on the version of Windows you are currently running. Download time will also vary depending on the type and speed of Internet connection you have.

Step 7: Once the download is complete, it will start ‘Preparing for installation’ after which you can install the update.

Enjoy it !!!
