Need some help to download ISO image of Windows 10 Pro

Hi everyone, I'm looking to do a clean installation of Windows 10 Pro on my computer but I'm having trouble finding the official Microsoft source to download the ISO image of Windows 10 Pro. There is no download option for Pro version from Microsoft Windows 10 download page.

I urgently need to download Windows 10 Pro iso image and install Windows 10 Pro on my PC so I can start my project as soon as possible.

P.S. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit as well as Windows 10 Pro 32-bit

    The ISO image hosted on Microsoft already have Windows 10 and Windows 10 Pro in it.

  • If you prefer not to download the Windows 10 Pro ISO image, you can use this method. This requires Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome.

    1. Visit the official Windows 10 ISO download page.
    2. In Chrome or Edge, press F12 to open Developer Tools, then click the Device Emulation icon, or press Ctrl+Shift+M directly.
    3. Press F5 to refresh the page. The site will now display the legacy interface.
    4. Locate the version selection option, choose Windows 10, then select your desired product language.
    5. You will then obtain download links for either the 64-bit or 32-bit version. Click to download.

    The multi-version ISOs obtained through this method are identical to those generated by the Media Creation Tool. Use them with confidence, as they are fully compatible and reliable.

    Finding the official Windows 10 Pro ISO download from Microsoft can be confusing because Microsoft provides a single ISO file that contains both the Home and Pro versions, and the version you end up with depends on the product key you enter during the installation process.

    How to Windows 10 Pro ISO image download

    一、Download Windows 10 Media Creation Tool 

    • Visit Microsoft's official download page to get the Media Creation Tool installation package.
    • Under the Create Windows 10 installation media section of the page, click the Download Tool Now button to download the MediaCreationTool22H2.exe file.

    二、Create a Windows 10 ISO image with the tool :

    1.Run the tool and select the function 

    • Double-click to open the downloaded MediaCreationTool22H2.exe, read and accept the license terms.
    • In the What do you want to perform? screen, select Create installation media for another computer and click Next.

    2.Customize the language, architecture and version :

    • Uncheck the Use this computer's recommended option to unlock the customization settings.
    • Select the desired language from the drop-down menu.
    • Select Windows 10 
    • 64-bit/32-bit or both as required 
    • Click Next when finished.

    3. Select Output as ISO file and save :

    • On the Select media to use screen, check ISO file and click Next.
    • Select the location where you want to save the ISO image, and the tool will automatically download the Windows 10 system files and generate the ISO image.
    • Wait for the download and creation to complete and you will get the complete ISO file.

    三、How to get Windows 10 Pro from this ISO image 

    • When you use this ISO image to install a new system, enter your Windows 10 Pro key in the step where you are prompted to enter your product key, and the installer will automatically activate and configure it as Pro.
    • If you don't have a key yet, you can select I don't have a product key during the installation process. A list of editions will appear, so you can select Windows 10 Pro to install it, and then you will need to purchase and enter the key to complete the activation.

    Follow these steps and you will download the official and secure Windows 10 Pro ISO file, ready for a fresh installation. I wish you all the best in this project.

    If you can't find the official Microsoft link to download Windows 10 Pro ISO image directly from the Windows 10 download page, here are some reliable options:

    1. Use the Media Creation Tool:  
        Visit the Microsoft Download Windows 10 page.
        Download and run the Media Creation Tool.
        During the setup, select "Create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) for another PC."
        Choose the language, edition (make sure to select Windows 10 Pro), and architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).
        Proceed to create the ISO file directly.

    2. Select the correct edition during the media creation process:  
        The Media Creation Tool should allow you to pick the edition; ensure you select Windows 10 Pro.

    3. Microsoft Volume Licensing or MSDN:  
        If you have access through an organization or a developer account, you can download Windows 10 Pro          ISO image from the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center or [Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN)].

    If you already have a license, during installation, you can enter your product key to activate Windows.

    There is no download option from Microsoft download page for downloading Windows 10 Pro ISO image. Microsoft's official download process for Windows 10 does not offer a separate, direct link of downloading Windows 10 Pro ISO image from their main download page. Instead, they provide a universal Windows 10 ISO that includes multiple editions (Home, Pro, etc.), and the edition activated depends on the product key you use during or after installation.

    Reasons why there's no explicit "Pro" download option:

    • Microsoft distributes a single ISO that contains both Windows 10 editions. The edition installed and activated depends on the product key you enter during installation or afterward.
    • During setup, if you have a valid Windows 10 Pro product key, the system will activate Windows 10 Pro after installation. If you don’t enter a key, it installs a trial version or Windows 10 Home by default.
    • Microsoft’s licensing allows you to convert or upgrade editions easily, so they don’t typically provide separate ISO files for each edition.
