Where to get ISO images for Windows Installation Media?

Microsoft officially equips a Media Creation Tool for creating bootable medias. But if you haven't a fast interrupted unlimited internet connection, it won't work for you as it doesn't let you pause and resume the download for later. You have to download the whole image at one go which is, you know, might not be feasible for all folks there. So, it's always a better idea to get the ISO image manually which you can download with your Download Manager application with full pause and resume support.

There are multiple sources to get images, it is really hard to find the legitimate and strutted ones.
Here is a website called Windows ISO DB.

It will provide you with the vast majority of nearly all Windows ISO versions you might be looking for. Be it Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10. Windows Home, Windows Professional and Windows Ultimate and Starter. The newest Windows 10 with the Creators Update (2017) is the most recent addition to their database.

You can also get the insider build directly as DVD images.

Talking of authenticity, download links for Windows ISOs are directly from Microsoft servers.

Let me show you one. I'm downloading the latest Windows 10 Creators Update 32-bit English (GB) version.

When you look at the download link i.e.
[https://software-download.microsoft.com/pr/Win10_1703_English_x32.iso?t=e16e599f-12fa-486c-b02e-94e172d2b9cd&e=1503264922&h=e69eea41bebf354530885b05818733df], see that the domain is microsoft.com itself.

And product key? Don't worry. The newer versions, as you know give you the option to skip the step and let you enter the key after your installation is complete. Still, if you want one to do the job, they provide you with a valid and working generic key. They are blocked at the Microsoft clearinghouse and therefore cannot be used to activate any productive systems to fully working retail installations.
You can always get your product key from Microsoft's Official Store.

How to verify your downloaded files using MD5 Checksum on Windows?

MD5 stands for Message Digest version 5 . The MD5 algorithm takes a file (the “message”) of any size, and reduces it down to a code that looks like this: “ac30ce5b07b0018d65203fbc680968f5″ (the “digest”). The brilliant thing about the MD5 algorithm is that if the message changes by so much as a single byte, it will produce a completely different digest. An MD5 sum is a string of letters and numbers that acts like a fingerprint for a file. If two files have the same MD5 sum, the files are exactly alike - which is why MD5 "fingerprints" can verify whether or not your downloaded file got corrupted in transit, hence it is used to verify the integrity of files, as virtually any change to a file will cause its MD5 hash to change. MD5 digests have been widely used in the software world to provide some assurance that a transferred file has arrived intact. For example, file servers often provide a pre-computed MD5 (known as md5sum) checksum for the files, so that a user can compa

How to download files from Dropbox and Google Drive using IDM?

Ever wondered if you could download gigantic files with pause and resume support with your favorite download manager.

New fraud WhatsApp message misguiding people to get them free data on Jio

A message telling users to "upgrade their services" has gone viral on popular social instant messaging platform WhatsApp. As you can clearly see the actual URL of the site is http://upgrademyjioservice.blogspot.in/, just a blog , which is not associated with Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited in anyway. And at the bottom of the message, you can see the hood-winker has used URL shortening service TINYCC to beguile people. On clicking the link you will land on the blog Looking at the address bar, it's a Blogspot site. It will tell you to download an app (in APK) and install it. And mark the unnecessary permissions required for the app too. Think about it. If it's really from Jio and an official offer, then why wouldn't it be in Play Store? Why wouldn't it not be advertised on MyJio app? MyJio is the self-care application by Jio facilitating users to manage their Jio Account and Digital Services associated with it. Why wouldn't it be
