    What license/subscription do you plan to use to activate the install?

    If your concern is about safety, any 3rd party download will do as long as the hash matches. If you want to be strictly legal, MS's server is probably the only way to go.

    Well, about safety of course. I will buy a license from Amazon/Ebay/Rakuten

    That's so weird, I did try to download it, but nothing happened. Now it works.
    THanks!!


    Thanks, but upgrade from what? there is no OS on the pc. Thank you anyway.

    From: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

    " Need to create a USB, DVD or ISO?
    If you need to install or reinstall Windows 10 using a USB or DVD, you can use the media creation tool below to create your own installation media with either a USB flash drive or a DVD. The tool provides file formats optimized for download speed and can be used to create ISO files."

    Sadly no, but I succeeded to download it with my phone-somehow it directs to a different website which you select the OS version and download the iso file.

    I used the M$ media creation tool 64 bit and burned a DVD disk, there is no Home or Pro download for Windows 10 with Pro license it updates certain items . I did a clean install with the disk and when it was done Pro was installed, M$ install contacts WIndows 10 activation server to see what flavor of windows 10 you have registered there and then installs that flavor, Home or Pro, no need to put in license number with windows 10.
