Looking for someone with access to MSDN

[TheProfosist]

as the title says im looking for someone who has a MSDN subscription and access to download software.

 

For those wondering I specifically need the image for Win Pro for Workstations which though microsoft will sell to consumers they dont provide the image for.

 

As a reference the 1909 version of this image was named

en_windows_10_business_editions_version_1909_x64_dvd_ada535d0.iso

 

The other benefit of this image is that it does not have Win10 Home on is which is nice when you need to install Pro on a system with Home baked into the UEFI as normally it would just see Home and install that without even prompting.

 

 

Thanks in advance as always and if there is something I can do in return for ya, let me know.

this makes it sound like they send it as a USB key, if you buy It I assume they will link you to a download page.

Activation required • Single license • 32 and 64-bits included on USB 3.0 media

What are you talking about/quoting? I already own Pro for Workstation on a number of systems so that's not the issue/ Also I already know the solution to my problem, just looking for someone who has the access. If you wondering how Pro for Workstation works as a consumer and how microsoft intends for you to use and install it I can go over that but its not the point of this thread.

I think the concern here is the request seems like you are looking for a free Win 10 license.

 

I  assume you already have your own copy and just want a cleaner install image over what you can get via the standard online downloads.  Is that correct?

 

BTW - I no longer have access to MSDN, sorry but I cannot assist.

I'm say Microsoft site is semi stupid and it sounds like they originally planned on sending a USB stick with a key for it.

 

run windows 10 media creation tool and make one for windows 10 pro.

bingo! I dont not need a license as I already them for the systems I use it on. M$ does not make an image of Pro for Workstations available for a clean install to consumers even though theyll sell you the license.

yeah they dont even give you a Product Key unless you run into an issue

 

But then you have to upgrade windows and its no longer a clean install, also comes with all the junk the consumer versions do. Also have to sign into my MS account to activate it and do the upgrade, something youre better off avoiding.

pro workstation already did.

only thing I can think of that isn't questionable is just reach out support and see what they say

They say upgrade it to the store every time and show you the door. Ive had it since it was first out and done this before, just happens that my previous source no longer has MSDN access.

never came with a USB I barely got a receipt for the fairly large chunk of change I gave M$ (its just in your account purchase history)

 

also with the new version of WIn10 being out (2004 - May 2020) I would like to be able to clean install the latest version of the OS.

Sorry, but while this isn't actually piracy, Microsoft isn't happy if we allow redistribution of their install images. They have send DMCA takedown notices in past. I would recommend that you be in contact with Microsoft as you seem like enterprise customer for them already.
