Win 10 iso
When I try to download win 10 ISO using XP it stops part way and says
source file can not be found, does not matter who I try to get it from. Would I have more success using an old slow win 7 laptop. |

There are two benefits to the Win7 laptop 1) Guaranteed NTFS partition for C: , with no 4GB storage limit like a FAT32 partition would have. 2) The download method used, it actually fetches a *different* version of the DVD (shocker!). If you *had* succeeded in downloading the 64-bit Win10 by using WinXP, you would have been sorry, because it needs a *dual-layer* DVD if you're using DVD media. If you're using USB sticks for this, then (2) makes no difference. Here are some media sizes for your consideration. WinXP (page offers direct-download links for 24 hours) Win10_1903_V1_English_x64.iso 4,939,528,192 bytes == dual layer Win10_1903_V1_English_x32.iso 3,493,140,480 bytes Win7 (page offers MediaCreationTool1903, depends on .NET 4+) Win10-64bit-mediacreation-1903-7OSes.iso 3,967,483,904 bytes Win10-32bit-mediacreation-1903-7OSes.iso 2,894,200,832 bytes I think now you can see how a Win7 laptop is of benefit to you for this effort. The outcome is different (and more manageable). Paul |
