Win10 ISO on archive.org??
My partner has a old HP PC, that was originally sold with Win7. It is
unfit for latest version of Win10. In another forum, it was suggested to stay with 1703 version if you had it. Microsoft downloads only vomits forth the latest version for punters. If one searches for ISO of older builds, you get lots of dodgy scumware sites. But curiously, this also turned up: https://archive.org/details/Win10170...ternationalX64 Would this be just as dubious as the other foul links? |

Microsoft recently, this past week bumped up its resource standing among analysts, the richest of the rich, again among the top three. Microsoft also said, not more than a few months ago, it was downgrading a focus upon any traditional reserve for an Operating System. Translation: Hardcore, or "''dem's the bumps and you take 'em". Foul scum exists when a top-three controller of wealth and means exists in an unsanctified state. You may manipulate code not freely sourced to be modified, rather attempt to learn to all you care to while the getting is good. Good being a more technical aspect, for my money, as easy is what is least written long, where an overwhelming might of dominance, most of all easily, exists to quash a foul puke of dodgy scumware into oblivion. - When the Roman Alexander the Great [Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus] took his illegal standing army, with the Senate's blessing, to obliterate a prolific piracy strangling the lifeblood of Roman grain shipments, he found the pirates in no less desperate straits;- and granted clemency on lands he bestowed to them by means to restore their imperium and adherence to the Roman provinces. |

You can get any release version of Windows 10 you want. The URL created, will point to a Microsoft server. The program has a "Copy URL" button when you've made your selection. (There shouldn't be any throttling or monkey business for Windows 10 downloads.) https://www.heidoc.net/joomla/techno...-download-tool This is an example of how many Windows 10 releases you might see. I labeled a few with release numbers. https://s3.postimg.cc/jjlidxrir/heidoc_win10.gif It goes all the way back to 10240 (original RTM release). Paul |

Has been downloading for 2h with estimated 6h to go. Microsoft's servers must get a hammering. |

Make sure you're not downloading onto a FAT32 partition, as the 64 bit version can be bigger than 4GB. You can use a download agent that opens multiple connections, but this normally isn't required for Win10 OS discs. The content distribution network for those is pretty good. Even my pitiful broadband can get a 64-bit ISO of Win10 in about 40 minutes. For example, when I wanted to get some 7GB ISO from Microsoft (could have been some SDK or something), it was only downloading at 60KB/sec. I did the extra work, to find some downloader that would open multiple connections (each connection fetches a byte-range of the file), and then they're joined together at the end. And that cut the number of hours by a factor of eight or so. The server is tolerant of opening multiple connections. Not all servers support that (some servers police connection_rate and use a rate limiter, as well as limiting the max_connections for one IP address). I've only seen throttling a couple of times at microsoft.com , and usually for less frequently used content. Win10 ISO should not throttle. Paul |

I often download large linux ISOs (Centos, Suse et alia) at night because I can't be bothered waiting. I have FTTH, which seems like a waste sometimes. |
