Recently I got the product code for windows 10 and downloader to make a bootable USB stick but when I used rufus to make it one the file I download was a DVD file of sort and the iso image was nowhere to be found, I wanted to ask if I did something wrong and what should I do? Because I can't the file anywhere (Sorry if I didnt explain the problem well) I tried to take the screenshots to show what im talking about better

Don't worry, that is normal for the regular download.

I think somewhere in the download section there is a option to download it ans an ISO. Otherwise, ISO is just a package format like RAR, so download something that can compress/create ISOs and make one yourself.

If all that doesn't work, for me it works without an ISO, my Mobo detected the drive as bootable with the files just on there.

http://storage.googleapis.com/fast-downloads/Win10_1607_English_x64.iso was the link I used to download the file,

and to reply to Wizardy no I dont, the Computer im putting windows10 on doesnt have a DVD input or whatever its called for me to use one, so Im using a USB stick instead. and Obersachse, is there a reccomended program I should use for making that type of file into a ISO?

Do you have a dvd?

 

You can download the iso from microsoft here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

 

Im guessing I dont need the ISO if I cant even use a dvd so Im on the downloader from the link you sent me, and I chose the option Im downloading this for a diff. computer and That Im using a USB stick, so they asked me what stick is and I selected so here I am now, Will they ask for the code when I go to install it on the other computer?

You need the key to activate it, you can install it without the key.
