Posted April 13 Am I the only one who did not know about this? So to start with, window 11 have a direct ISO download on their website. But for windows 10, you need to download the creation media tool. Unfortunately, mine was always stuck at 0% progress. So I contacted microsoft tech support to get a direct link for the ISO, since I couldn't remember or if it's already gone. So here's the resolution. Originally, here's what the link would greet you. What you need to do is to press CTRL+Shift+I or look for Developers tool in the settings. Next is to click refresh a few times. After that this is what would appear. With this we can directly download a clean ISO and use rufus to create a bootable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 13 You do realise the media creation tool offers to just dump the iso, right? And it also offers to burn it to a memory stick, exactly the same as Rufus does, and it's a completely vanilla ISO? It's been this way for the best part of a decade. If it's not working for you, your computer has a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But creation media tool isn't working for me. It won't complete with either options, directly creating a bootable or creating an ISO. So I needed an ISO as I will also be using NTlite before creating the bootable. But I didn't know about the rufus. Thanks for that info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
