Hi All,
Greets,
Mam,

1. Regular windows 10 iso includes both Pro and Home editions
Sir says it rightly. Actually when you would use it you will be offered the two choices.

2. My installed win 10 version is 1709 not 1803.
Go with the download. It's the latest version of your edition. That's all.

3.does that mean ill have to install windows 10 all over again ?
No, not at all. I am planning a system image of your present win 10 status. I planned to tell you a little about it today but unfortunately here was a major power failure ! Actually, when troubleshooting, installation media makes sure it works 100%. If anything goes wrong, we would be able to restore the present status within half an hour. Even for that we don't have to do much but the procedure takes time. System image procedure images system exactly and within half an hour you revert to the same status. I will mention it all.

Thanks & Regards. ...

Thank you .
I am downloading it now but it will take time .. internet service here has been very slow lately due to political turmoil.
Hopefully it'll be done tomorrow..




Thanks alot for your explanation and forgive my lack of knowledge in technology.

If you prefer there is a direct Microsoft option which should take you to a server near to you and allows you to choose the format you want.

It defaults to writing a USB stick but you can change this to .ISO if you prefer. When Given the option choose the option to create installer for another machine and choose the .ISO option

Download Windows 10

Thank you i checked it, no options were given regarding iso or usb but it doenloads fine directly.
Thanks

Hi All,
Greets,
Mam,

1. What's the exact name of the downloaded iso ? (SHA-1 changes as the version & edition changes). We need to check its integrity as there :

2.should take you to a server near to you ( by sir Barman58 )
That seems to be the best part !

3. Creating & restoring System Image(s) is a very powerful troubleshooting tool. It solves 90% of all the possible problems. ( It can't undo BIOS changes). It takes your system to the exact state when the one was created within no time & effort ! Whenever one feels that his system is doing well, he should create a system image ! This way you may never need installing the OS again & again & doing all the toil to make it workable. Whenever you feel your system is not doing good, Pick a stable system image from the past and restore it.
Being a part of BackUp, its still a bit different than just backing up files. To say it more promptly : By default it actually backs up all the material ,'system & other files', that occupies space on the system crucial partitions. As it does so, Mam, It is advisable that all the files of personal interest/use, are moved from 'Win 10 C:' to the other partition on the same drive. It will make the whole process fast and resource effective. I mean the files that occupies space in the default folders of ' Documents, Downloads, Desktop, etc.'. All these folders land in C: and so increase the process times & space requirements. Don't touch system files :you would be always knowing what are the files of your personal interest & use ! For eg. the 4GB+ download, you made just now, would by default land in 'Downloads' which occupies space on C: and so increase the size of System Image by 4gb and so increases the procedure time.

[[ Let it go the way it goes, You have to just edit :
Select the location you want to save your system image to ( step 4 )
There you have to select a non system crucial partition of windows 7 drive ( Miscellaneous files). Make a note of it. That's it. ]]

Let us know.

Thanks & Regards. ...

Hello again,

Hi,

1) I suppose i can make the system image before the download right?
Rightly.

I am still downloading unfortunately. As my download failed 3 times due to servicec errors.

2) Did you ever make a recovery drive ? You were saying some CD or DVD, you also said that it is working and you used last month ? What's that ? How big is that ? What you used it for ? Can you reach system image restore from it ? Make sure you boot from it and reach to the listing of system image restore functionality ? Be careful ! Don't do anything !

If it's a recovery drive , after booting into it > (a). select the 'Recovery' menu item and press 'APPLY'.



(b). It will ask you to restart the pc and after restart you would find 'system image restore' functionality listed ! That's it !




3) When you just insert it & not boot into it, how it looks in disk management ? (The two old views !)

Let us know.

Thanks & Regards. ...

Hello,

No i dont have a recovery dvd. I have a win 10 installation dvd . I have never made a recovery before not on a dvd nor on my hdd.


And i have now all the 4 programs downloaded including win 10.iso and i will report to you tomorrow about the rest of your guidance steps.


Thank you so much.

Hello mr. Vineet Garg
Have a nice day.


Just to report.
1. I downloaded the 3 softwares you requested and win 10.iso
2. I compared the SHA-1 of the downloaded iso with the one in the website and they are identical.
3. I made a windows image back up as instructed.
4. I have a 16 gb flash usb drive availble for use.




Is that correct for now?


Thanks in advance.
