In the second case, the ISO-image is created, which then need to be written to disk using, for example, Daemon Tools. Regardless of the option selected, press the «Next» button.
Step 9. That’s all. Depending on the image of a Windows 10 it will be recorded on a USB flash drive or an image which user selected.
How to get Windows 10 from other operating systems?
Today, the old versions of Windows run in the bottom pane, you can see an icon with an offer for free to get a new version of the operating system.
There’s an orange frame you can see exactly the same two options that are on the official website — «Update Now» and «Start downloading …». However, they are called a little differently, but the meaning remains the same.
After selecting one of the options download will start automatically. The problem is that there you will not have an opportunity to choose the architecture and version — everything is installed by default under the computer from which the download occurs.
