Click on the download button (or URL link) above to start the lightning-fast and very easy creation of the Windows 10 Pro ISO 64-bit file using the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft (the Home Edition and 32-bit version can also be selected).

Download, click and select the iso version - the tool does not even need to be installed (starts by clicking on the downloaded exe file).

In the Media Creation Tool, you can easily make your selection:

  • the desired version (Pro, Home, N)
  • the architecture (64-bit or 32-bit)
  • the Windows language (English, German, French, Spanish, etc.).

Although you can also download the respective Windows 10 Iso disk images in 64-bit and 32-bit directly using a trick (see download links and instructions below), our recommendation is to use the Media Creation Tool and save yourself the more cumbersome route.

The Media Creation Tool from Microsoft makes it much faster and more convenient - as the step-by-step instructions in the next section show.

Very important:

This ISO file for Win 10 is not your personal Windows and does not contain any other programs. If you use it for a new installation, you will need to set up your PC again.

How do I create a Windows 10 ISO file 64-bit Pro and Home? This is how it works with the Windows Media Creation Tool!

  3. Now click on Installation media at the top so that the Media Creation Tool downloads the ISO file directly and then immediately copies it to a DVD or USB stick. To do this, plug in a USB stick with at least 8 GB of memory.Windows 10 iso download and install via USB stick
  4. The next step is to decide which version and language you want to download:

    In most cases, it is advisable, if you opt for the 64-bit (x64) variant. Only very old PCs with less than 4 GB of RAM should still use the 32-bit variant.
  5. Now you are spoiled for choice: Click on USB memory stick the plugged-in stick is written to directly and can later be used as an installation stick. If you click on ISO file, the previously loaded ISO version is selected.

    Once the download and copying process is complete, you can plug the USB stick directly into your PC and reinstall Windows. If you have opted for the ISO version, you only need to save it and can simply burn it in the classic way, provided you have a blank DVD and DVD burner: To do this, right-click on the downloaded file and select Burn disk image:

  6. You can use both the DVD and the USB stick directly to reinstall Windows 10!

Create a bootable USB stick with the Windows 10 ISO (Pro and Home, 64-bit and 32-bit)

With the following 3 steps, you can install the Window 10 ISO on a standard USB stick, which can then be used as a bootable installation medium (back up or delete all files from the USB stick beforehand):

  1. Start the Download from Rufus and then the program. In the next step, click on SELECT.
  2. Now select the freshly downloaded Windows 10 ISO file (usually found in the download folder under a name such as "Win10_21H1_German_x64", see screenshot below)
  3. You can skip the complicated-looking Rufus default settings: One click on START is enough to create the bootable (also called bootable ) USB stick with your Windows 10 iso.

Freshly reinstall Windows 10 with the finished ISO file

No matter which way you choose: Installing Windows 10 from the ISO is now very easy.

Step 1:

First plug in the USB stick or insert the DVD into the drive. Then restart the PC. Does the Windows 10 installation start automatically? Great! If not, you still need to tell your PC that it wants to select the USB or DVD drive instead of your hard disk when you switch it on. To do this, press the ENTF or F2 key directly when switching on.

Step 2:

Depending on your PC's system menu (also known as UEFI/BIOS), the appearance and procedure may vary greatly. However, you should always look for entries such as Boot Priority and Boot Option. There you can specify that the PC should boot from the USB stick first (priority 1!). In the example above, we had to move the USB stick to the top of the priority list or all the way to the left!

Step 3:

You can now start the Windows 10 installation directly: Click Install now on the welcome screen, accept the license terms and click Next. You can now choose to upgrade (keep files) or custom (reinstall). In the next step, click on your hard disk and start the installation! Done. The rest of the setup process is self-explanatory and you usually only need to confirm with Next before you land on your Windows 10 desktop.
