You can legally tải về the Windows 8 & Windows 10 ISOs directly from Microsoft with the truyền thông media Creation Tool. Microsoft no longer offers Windows 7 ISOs for download.
You can reinstall Windows from scratch using the product key that came with your PC, but you’ll have lớn find installation media yourself. Microsoft offers không lấy phí ISO files for downloading; you just have khổng lồ know where to lớn look.
There are a few ways to vị this, but they’re all on the straight & narrow–you won’t have to visit a shady BitTorrent site lớn download ISOs that may be filled with malware. Instead, you get official installation media straight from Microsoft.
Note: Depending on the OEM version of Windows that you are running, you might run into an issue using the OEM key with a retail version of Windows. If it won’t activate, you can always install and then call Microsoft to get them lớn straighten it out và allow your copy lớn activate. The most important thing is that you have a valid license key.Download the Windows 10 or 8.1 ISO Using the media Creation Tool
If you’ve got access lớn a Windows machine, the official method for downloading ISOs for Windows 8.1 và 10 is the media Creation Tool. The process for using the tool is largely the same for both versions of Windows, so we’ll be using the Windows 10 truyền thông media Creation Tool for our example. We’ll just cảnh báo where anything differs.

One caveat you should be aware of up front is that you can no longer download an ISO for Windows 8–just 8.1. & the sản phẩm keys are different for Windows 8 and 8.1, so if you have a Windows 8 product key, you can’t just use it khổng lồ install Windows 8.1. Instead, you’ll have to install Windows 8, then bởi vì a free upgrade to 8.1. After you bởi vì the upgrade, Windows will assign the new sản phẩm key khổng lồ the installation. You can find that hàng hóa key in a number of different ways và save it for the future.

Start by downloading either the Windows 10 media Creation Tool or the Windows 8.1 media Creation Tool. Once the tệp tin has downloaded, just double-click it to lớn start the tool và then click “Yes” to lớn give it permission to make changes lớn your PC. When the tool starts, click “Accept” khổng lồ accept the license terms. Cảnh báo that the Windows 8.1 version of the tool does not ask you to accept license terms.
(If you don’t want to lớn use the truyền thông Creation Tool và just want to tải về an ISO file directly, just change your browser’s user agent lớn a non-Windows browser lượt thích Apple Safari on máy tính bảng ipad while you’re viewing the tải về page. Microsoft will offer you a direct tải về of the Windows 10 or Windows 8.1 ISO file instead of the standard truyền thông Creation Tool, which only runs on Windows.)
When the tool asks what you want to do, select “Create installation media for another PC” & then click “Next.” The Windows 8.1 version of the tool also does not provide this option; it just defaults khổng lồ creating installation truyền thông for another PC (which is what we want).
The tool will suggest a language, edition, & architecture for Windows based on information about the PC on which the tool is running. If you’re going lớn use the installation media on that PC, go ahead và just click “Next.” If you’re planning khổng lồ install it on a different PC, clear the “Use recommended options for this PC” kiểm tra box, select options that are more appropriate for the license you have, & then click “Next.” Note that if you’re using the 8.1 version of the tool, you actually start with this screen.

Remember, your license will only work with the correct version of Windows–if your license is for 64-bit Windows 10 Pro, you can’t install 32-bit Windows 10 trang chủ with it, so ensure your selections here match what’s listed on your sản phẩm key.
Next, select whether you want the tool lớn create a bootable USB flash drive with the installation media, or just create an ISO file that you can use or burn lớn a DVD later.

Also, the USB drive will be formatted during the process, so make sure there’s nothing on it you need. Select the option you want and then click “Next.”
Choose a place khổng lồ save the finished ISO file (or point the tool toward the right USB drive if that’s the option you chose).
