In order to download the original Windows 10 ISO image, Microsoft offers to use its own utility Media Creation Tool – a tool for creating installation drives, which, among other things, allows you to make a simple download of the system image. In this case, download the latest version of Windows 10 with a choice of 64-bit and 32-bit systems, and ISO image contains both Home (Home) and Professional (Pro) versions of the system. The procedure consists of the following steps:

• Go to https://www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/software-download/windows10 and click “Download Tool Now” (keep in mind that the download is currently blocked for RF, use the methods from this article), once the Media Creation Tool is downloaded, run it.
• After a period of preparation of the utility, accept the license terms and then – select “Create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD or ISO file) and click “Next”. Download Windows 10 in Media Creation Tool
• In the next step you can choose which Windows 10 to download – to do this uncheck “Use recommended settings for this computer” and select language, edition (we choose Windows 10 – it contains all available editions of the system for users) and bit rate in the “Architecture” item. Click Next. Configuring settings in the Media Creation Tool
• Specify whether you want to download Windows 10 as an ISO file for further self-administration, or create a bootable flash drive on the connected drive (the data will be deleted from it). Start downloading the Windows 10 ISO image to the MCT
• If you select “ISO file” you will also need to specify where to save the image.

After these steps, you just have to wait until the Windows 10 image is fully downloaded to your computer and then use it the way you want.

How to download the original Windows 10 ISO from Microsoft’s website without any software

There is a method that allows you to download Windows 10 from the official site without downloading Microsoft utilities, but it is hidden from Windows users, nevertheless its use is possible (for RF in 2023 – only with VPN):

1. Go to the official download page https://www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/software-download/windows10 in your Chrome-based browser (Google Chrome, Opera, Yandex Browser).
2. Right-click in a blank space on the page and select “View code” (sometimes may be called differently, such as “Verify object”). Check the object on the Windows 10 download site
3. The debugging console will open, in it find the button for mobile device emulation mode (marked in the screenshot) and click on it, and above the page itself, select a mobile device. Enable mobile device emulation
4. Refresh the page in your browser: its appearance will change. Under “Select a release”, select “Windows 10” and click “Confirm”. Selecting a release of Windows 10 to download

6. Download Windows 10 – 64-bit or 32-bit from the official Microsoft website. Download the original ISO of Windows 10 x64 or 32-bit
