- [Why is the edition list not appearing during the installation, and why is it automatically installing the Home edition?](https://gravesoft.dev/clean_install_windows#edition-list-during-windows-installation)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Why are we hosting files on our server when we can download them from Microsoft?
|
||||
Microsoft provides consumer ISOs for free on their [site](https://www.microsoft.com/software-download), but business, enterprise, and older ISOs are behind paywalls such as [MVS](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/subscriptions/) and [M365 Admin Center](https://learn.microsoft.com/licensing/vlsc-faqs-home-page). That's why we need to host files on our servers.
|
||||
|
||||
#### How to ensure that these files are genuine?
|
||||
You can check [here](genuine-installation-media.md#verify-authenticity-of-files) on how to be sure that files are genuine by verifying the checksum available on the official Microsoft website.
|
||||
|
||||
#### There are both consumer and business ISOs listed here. What is the difference between them?
|
||||
For Windows 10/11 General Availability Channel (GAC) releases (i.e., Home and Pro), Microsoft produces two types of ISO files: Consumer and Business.
|
||||
|
||||
The Consumer ISO includes all editions such as Home, Pro, and Education, but excludes the Enterprise edition. In contrast, the Business ISO contains all editions except for the Home-level editions, and these ISO files come with a KMS key pre-installed (not activated) by default.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Why are the official monthly ISOs no longer updated on the site?
|
||||
It takes too much effort and resources when users can and should simply run Windows updates (cumulative) themselves. We have decided to maintain the same build number as the consumer ISOs publicly provided by Microsoft unless there are issues with them. For example, we provide updated ISOs for Windows 10 to resolve the issue where Windows update may fail to install [KB5028997](https://support.microsoft.com/topic/kb5028997-instructions-to-manually-resize-your-partition-to-install-the-winre-update-400faa27-9343-461c-ada9-24c8229763bf) when using Microsoft’s official public ISO.
|
||||
|
||||
#### How can I obtain an official Microsoft ISO that is not available here?
|
||||
You can request the file [here](https://discord.gg/NpuNEUS2Sh).

# Windows 10 Download
|

|
||||
All download links lead to genuine files only.
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- For Windows 10/11 GAC (General Availability Channel) releases (I.e. Home, Pro), Microsoft makes 2 kinds of ISO's, Consumer and Business.
|
||||
- Consumer ISO's are available for [free to download](https://www.microsoft.com/software-download) and ISO contains almost all the editions such as Home/Pro/Education except Enterprise. On the other hand, Business ISO contains all the editions except Home level editions and these ISO's have KMS key installed by default.
|
||||
- If you want to deploy Enterprise edition from the scratch, you need to use Business ISO's.
|
||||
- Business ISO's aren't available to download for free. Microsoft provide them on [MVS](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/subscriptions/) and [M365 Admin Center](https://learn.microsoft.com/licensing/vlsc-faqs-home-page) but for them, you need to pay a high subscription fee. For this reason, we need to host files on 3rd party. You can check [here](genuine-installation-media.md#verify-authenticity-of-files) on how to be sure that files are genuine.
|
||||
- MVS provides monthly updated ISO's for Windows 10/11 and Microsoft's free download [site](https://www.microsoft.com/software-download) often provides ISO's with a couple months old build. It's fine to use that ISO since Windows update will update it anyway, but if you want to download latest genuine ISO's then you can use below links.

Most important thing we need to consider is the supported activation method.
|
||||
- KMS activation (available in MAS) is safe and can be used in both MBR/GPT systems, however in some cases, Windows activation may be not be supported due to [invalid Windows marker](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/tn-archive/ff793426(v=technet.10)?redirectedfrom=MSDN#activation-of-windows-oem-computers) in BIOS.

## Notes
|

|

- [FAQ](genuine-installation-media.md#faq)
|
||||
- Windows 10/11 Enterprise LTSC (Long-Term Servicing Channel) releases are designed to provide longer update support (10 years) and it lacks most of the Store (UWP) apps.
|
||||
- Windows 10 GAC (General Availability Channel) (i.e. Home, Pro) will reach end of support on [October 14, 2025](https://learn.microsoft.com/lifecycle/products/windows-10-home-and-pro). So, if your hardware doesn't support Windows 11 then you might wanna use Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 since its supported until [Jan 13, 2032](https://learn.microsoft.com/lifecycle/products/windows-10-iot-enterprise-ltsc-2021) or Windows 11 24H2 IoT editions (LTSC/GAC both) because they [don't require](https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/iot/iot-enterprise/Hardware/System_Requirements?tabs=Windows11LTSC#optional-minimum-requirements) TPM / Secure boot / UEFI / 4GB RAM.
|
||||
- Microsoft provides Evaluation ISO public [links](https://www.microsoft.com/evalcenter) for Windows LTSC releases, but as the name states, those ISO's are for evaluation purposes and can not be activated for more than 90 days.
