For a safe and legitimate way for downloading Windows 10 Pro ISO, the best approach is to use Microsoft's official sources. Even if the Media Creation Tool is giving you trouble, you can directly download the ISO from Microsoft's servers through a trick involving the Windows 10 download page.

Here's how you can download Windows 10 Pro ISO:

1. Visit the Microsoft's Windows 10 download page.

2. Use the "Download Tool Now" Button:
Click on "Download now" to get the Media Creation Tool.

3. Bypass the Tool (Direct ISO Download):

  • If you prefer to directly download the ISO without using the tool:
  • Open the page in a new incognito/private browsing window.
  • When prompted to choose the edition, select "Windows 10" and then choose your language.
  • Hold down the Shift key and click the "Download" button. This will open a hidden menu with direct download links.
  • Select your architecture (64-bit) and download the ISO directly.

4. Alternative method (Changing User-Agent):
You can also change your browser’s user-agent to mimic a non-Windows device (like a phone or tablet), then refresh the page, and the website should show the "Download tool" option instead of the upgrade prompt.
