UPDATED 5/22: It’s possible to download the Windows 10 ISO file without the Media Creation Tool to upgrade or clean install of the latest version of the OS, but Microsoft hides the option for Windows 10 users.
I went to Dell's website and found that I can enter the service tag number to download a Dell Windows Recovery Image for Windows 10 Home 64 bit. There are two of them though, one that is 'for Dell' and the other appears to be standard. If you currently have a genuine activated copy of Windows 10 signed in with your. Want to install Windows 10 again, just download an ISO from the Microsoft website and install it. Also, you must only install the same version (Pro/Home/etc.).
Microsoft makes available the ISO files every releases of Windows 10, including for the Windows 10 October 2019 Update (version 1809), the only problem is that when you go to the support site, you don’t get an option to download the ISO files directly. Instead, you’re only given the choice to get the update assistant or Media Creation Tool.
The reason is because the Microsoft support site is able to detect the OS you’re running, and if you’re already using Windows 10, Microsoft really wants you to use the Media Creation Tool. However, if you don’t want to go through the extra steps, there is a workaround to download the ISO file of Windows 10 directly from the Microsoft servers without the need to use the Media Creation Tool. It’s just the matter of making the support site think that you’re using an unsupported OS.
In this guide, you’ll learn the steps to download the Windows 10 ISO file directly from Microsoft servers without the Media Creation Tool.
