You can see that I ended up with Win10_1709_English_圆4.iso, meaning that it’s version 1709 of Windows 10. Once it’s downloaded you have an ISO file ready to go: If you don’t have good Internet connectivity, I encourage you to head somewhere that does, the public library, your workplace, Starbucks, etc. Next step is to wait for the download…Īt 4.4GB for the 64-bit ISO, it’s not a blindingly fast download for most people. Unless there’s a reason not to do so, I always recommend you get the 64-bit version for compatibility and performance. Now it gives you two download options, 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 10: When I tried it, there weren’t a lot of choices. To start, hop over to /en-us/software-downoad/windows10ISO (you can type it in or you can click my link if you’re more trusting 🙂 Once you get there the pop-up shows up to get you started:
I’ll demonstrate by downloading and installing a clean copy of Win10 in VMWare Fusion, a terrific virtual machine environment for use within the MacOS X world. It’s all part of the developer program from Microsoft and it’s entirely legit: They encourage people to download and install either the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows 10 and make it easy to work with virtual machines because the default download format is an ISO DVD image. Without a license, there are some limitations in what you’ll be able to access, but for general purposes, the free download works just fine for testing and experimentation purposes. There is indeed an easy way that you can freely download and run a copy of Windows 10 on your computer, whether you want to dual boot, keep it in a virtual machine or even have it as the main operating system.
