They are not entirely available. I think you cannot download all editions, only the latest releases, and if you use Windows it will tell you to use the media creation tool. Which is a weird thing that takes a long time and assembles an ISO from who knows what (it seems to take parts from your PC and to download other parts). It's really hard to get a vanilla ISO.

- yrro 4y agoI assumed the media creation tool was breaking apart the ISO image & splitting any files too large to fit onto a FAT32 filesystem: https://robots.org.uk/CreatingWindows10InstallerUSBFromLinux https://robots.org.uk/CreatingWindows10InstallerUSBFromLinux
- encryptluks2 4y agoIt isn't the latest release from my experience. Microsoft releases new ISO's on MSDN every month. The one that is publicly available is usually the first major build, which can be months to even years behind.
- smileybarry 4y agoYou can download ISOs on Windows now, I just did a week ago to install a VM. > Which is a weird thing that takes a long time and assembles an ISO from who knows what (it seems to take parts from your PC and to download other parts). It doesn’t use your PC’s files, it does recompress the install image into 2 parts in a different Windows disk image format to fit on FAT32 (4GB file limitation), so that you could use the ISO on a USB flash drive without needing a secondary bootloader.
