+ Download Genuine Installation Media: (Windows /Office /Server - .ISO .IMG .ESD .EXE and UUP files)

+
+ - Basic info:
+
+ - Officially there are 3 sources to get the .ISO's.
+ MVS (formerly MSDN), VLSC, and Techbench
+ - MVS and VLSC requires a subscription to download the .ISO's, but Techbench links are public.
+ There is no official and easy to use site for all Techbench links.
+
+ - MVS = VLSC = Techbench
+ They all have identical .ISO's, and it’s only their names that are different.
+
+ Some file naming examples -
+ Techbench - Win10_1809Oct_English_x64.ISO
+ MVS - en_windows_7_professional_with_sp1_vl_build_x86_dvd_u_677896.ISO
+ VLSC - SW_DVD9_Win_Embed_Industry_ENT_8.1_64Bit_English_-3_MLF_X19-82965.ISO
+
+ File names explained https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=26026
+
+ Techbench hosts Retail .ISO's.
+ MVS hosts both Retail and Volume .ISO's.
+ VLSC hosts Volume .ISO's.

+ - Official method (Public Links):
+
+ - Windows 7
+ https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows7
+
+ - Windows 8.1
+ https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows8ISO
+ You can directly download the .ISO's from here.
+
+ - Windows 11
+ https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11
+ You can directly download the .ISO's from here.
+
+ - Windows 10
+ https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows10
+
+ By default it doesn't provide the .ISO to Windows OS users directly, but instead provides a tool
+ named 'Media Creation Tool' which then CREATES the .ISO (which means their .ISO can't be verified
+ by using a hash) which is based on ESD. To get the direct .ISO file you have to change the
+ browser user agent to some other operating system than Windows. (an .ISO created with the Media
+ Creation Tool is smaller than the directly downloaded .ISO)
+
+ - Office
+ Office .ISO links requires a log in and keys to download the .ISO.
+ However, Office .ISO links are static. Below, is a partial list of places where you can download
+ Office ISO easily.

+ This collection offers major Windows, Server, and Office (Including VL and retail)
+ .ISO in all languages. This collection uses the SVF method to create .ISO’s.
+
+ How to use .svf?
+ As an example, if you want to download an .ISO of a French language version of Office 2010
+ SP1 Pro Vl, you first have to download a full-size English .ISO, and then after that's done,
+ download a small-size French .svf file.
+ Following that, put English .ISO, French svf file and tool (SVF-extractor) into a folder all
+ together. Then use the extract option in the tool, and it will generate an original French
+ language .ISO.

+
+ - Alternatives for the original ISO:
+
+ - ESD to ISO (Windows 8.1 and 10)
+ In this method, a ESD file (which is verifiable) is converted to the full ISO (which can not be
+ verified). This method is similar to the official 'Media Creation Tool' ISO creation process.
