Download Iso Windows 10
Everyone should know how to reinstall Windows 10, because you never know when a random mishap or malware will render your PC helpless. Put a copy of Windows 10 on an optical disc as an ISO file, or on a USB key drive, and you'll be ready if your PC needs to start over.
Assuming you have a legitimate Windows 10 license, start by going to Microsoft's Windows 10 download site: www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
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 first step is to download the Media Creation Tool by clicking the Download tool now button on this webpage. Once the tool downloads to your PC, you don't need to do any further installation. Just double-click the Media Creation Tool icon to start the process.
You'll go through a series of screens to choose between ISO file and USB drive download, and settle details such as language and operating system version. At the end, you'll have the choice of opening a DVD burning application to put the ISO file on disc, or downloading it directly to your computer.
If you download the ISO file to your computer, you can right-click its icon and select Mount to run the Windows installation. If your PC's in trouble, however, having this file locally may not help you. That's why you'll want a DVD or USB-drive version handy if possible.
UPDATE: In order to download ISO's directly using your web browser, you need to change the User Agent String in your favorite web browser. Learn how in the following article:

UPDATE: Users attempting to create bootable media using the Media Creation Tool, might encounter error message: 0xC18000116 - 0xA0019. Not much information is given as to why this error is happening, but a Microsoft employee on the Microsoft Community, disclosed, the software firm recently refreshed the Windows 10 ISO media; making it a bit larger than 4.7 Gbs.
Users will now have to use either a 8 GB thumb drive or a dual layer DVD to make a bootable copy. If you download a combination of architectures 32 and 64 bit, along with Home and Pro editions, you might need a USB media with 16 GBs of storage.

UPDATE: Previously, Windows 7, Windows 8.0 and Windows 8.1 users needed to have either of those versions of Windows installed and activated in order to qualify for the free upgrade offer. For persons who needed to perform a clean install of Windows 10 from the outset, it was a two step process of first validating the machine through the upgrade routine, ensure the Windows 10 Upgrade was activated, then proceed to perform a Reset. Starting with the the Windows 10 November Update (1511) and the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, users no longer have to go through this process.
