FYI MS Downloads

#1 Post by flatlander » Mon Apr 17, 2017 6:17 am

Microsoft offers free downloads of full installation media for all supported desktop versions of Windows. Just go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/ and choose your version.


For Windows 7, you'll need to supply a valid product key to complete the download process. That key must be from a full retail copy. Windows 7 upgrade keys, MSDN and enterprise keys, and OEM keys from a PC manufacturer are not eligible. After your key is verified, choose a 32-bit or 64-bit architecture to finish downloading the edition associated with your key

For Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, no product key is required to complete the download (although you will need either a key or a digital license to activate the installation). Instead, you can download the Media Creation Tool, which allows you to create either bootable media (USB flash drive or DVD) or an ISO file. Run the tool, select a language and edition, and follow the step-by-step instructions to create your installation media.
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Already got it, must admit I like the 3d software.

But as in anything microcrap beware the info you give.
I hate it when people ask if you have a bathroom, I want to say "No we pee in the garden"
