The company makes available the ISO files for every release of Windows 10, including for the Windows 10 May 2020 Update (version 2004), the only problem is that when you go to the support site, you don’t get an option to download the ISO file directly. Instead, you’re only given the choice to get the update assistant or Media Creation Tool. The reason is that the Microsoft support website can determine the operating system installed on the device, and if you’re using Windows 10, then Microsoft wants you to use the Media Creation Tool. However, there is a workaround to download the ISO file of Windows 10 directly without the need to use the Media Creation Tool if you don’t want to go through the extra steps. It’s just a matter of making the support site think that you’re using a different operating system. In this guide, you’ll learn the steps to download the Windows 10 ISO file directly from Microsoft servers without the Media Creation Tool.
