Default Download both 32 bit and 64 bit RTM iso

I am using 64 bit win 10 (10166) at home. My home computing
is not "mission critical". It borders on a hobby.

When RTM is available I would like to download both 64 bit
and 32 bit iso's

The 32 bit is to update 32 bit computers in my office.
We have a couple dos programs for which we need 32 bit.

Will I be able to download both 32 bit and 64 bit iso's
at home on my 64 bit system?

So far, Microsoft has only stated that 'after upgrading' end-users will
have media available to reinstall or clean install. That media would
have to be the same bitness as the original installed and upgraded-to
Win10 o/s.

i.e. MSFT has not stated that end-user will be able to download an iso,
create media USB/DVD to perform an in-place upgrade on an existing
qualifying Win7SP1/8.1 device.

Thus, unless or until MSFT formally states that an iso creatable USB/DVD
media can be used to perform an inplace upgrade before upgrading the
o/s...you may very well (unless you have an Enterprise or Software
Assurance license providing different routes) be required if taking
advantage of the 'free upgrade to Win10' to upgrade first via Windows
Update.

Will 32 or 64 bit media be available - if it follows the same route as
8.1 Media Creation Tool then yes the ability to obtain 32 or 64 bit is
available....but until the above unknown is clarified that created media
may only be useful after having already upgraded the o/s.
- possibly only after upgrading since the Windows Update route is
intended to footprint the device (hardware, hashcode, form factor,
customer type or something otherwise unique) support for the life of
that device thereby allowing that MSFT Store stored footprint and
associated license to allow end-user created media to reinstall or clean
install without the need of product key or activation.

You can download both 32-bit and 64-bit ISOs of the trial versions. Also,
when I bought that $9.95 download Microsoft upgrade special to Win 8, I was
given one key and 2 links for both the 32-bit and 64-bit downloads. In
addition, I paid the extra $4.95 for Microsoft to send me the installation
disk. When I got that, it was a package containing both the 32-bit and the
64-bit DVD install discs. There was also an explanation of how the 32-bit
software could be installed on a 64-bit system... but you couldn't use as
much RAM... amongst other considerations...

So, I would say that there shouldn't be any problem getting both ISOs - so
long as [whoever] doesn't try to defeat the activation process by using the
same key for different PCs.

HTH.

You can download both 32-bit and 64-bit ISOs of the trial versions.

No longer an option...the Win10 iso availability for Windows 10
trial/preview to the public and Windows Insiders user is currently
turned off.
Builds are only available via Windows Update to an existing Win10 System.

Correct for the iso availability of 32/64 bit for Win10 RTM if the media
tool is similar 8.1's tool (my comment was only applicable to the lack
of the iso availability [as of a few days ago] for the *trial version* -
to those in the Windows Insiders program.

If Win10 is like 8.1's Media Creation Tool (MCT) one has the option to
choose Language, Edition, and *Architecture*.

Maybe "turned off" to YOU...

I had to sign in to my account. I just downloaded both the 32-bit and 64-bit
iso files of Windows 10 Professional release candidate build 10240 to the
hard drive of my old Windows XP Pro PC. Sitting right here on the desktop!
Now I can burn the image files to DVD or whatever and continue to use the
provided key for at least a year... (Of course I've been providing feedback
on the previous release cnadidate builds.)

YMMV

That WAS NOT the OP's question nor the subject nor the topic of the thread.

Yes it was. Having trouble finding it.

The op's question was about RTM not the preview.

Fyi...the ability to download preview builds after logging on with a
MSFT Account ceased as of July 14th. No one is downloading anything
from MSFT after that date - with or without a MSFT account especially
10240 released on July 15.

July 15

http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwin...nd-slow-rings/
"On Monday we announced that builds from here on will only be available
through Windows Update, so to get this one you can either wait and it
will be installed automatically (but who are we kidding, I know you want
it now!) or go to Start Settings Update & Security Windows Update
Check for updates."


i.e. 10240 which you claim to have downloaded iso's is only available
via Windows Update.

July 9 (updated July 13) Subject Build 10166

http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwin...w-build-10166/
"Starting tomorrow, we will also not be delivering any additional ISOs"

Iso's for 10240 don't exist from MSFT with or without a MSFT Account.
