I have issues and need to repair my Windows 10. Where can I get a clean ISO (with install.wim, no Install.ESD, so that I can run DISM against the WIM) of the Windows 10 Anniversary update (Build 14393), Creators Update (Build 15063) or Fall Creators Update (Build 16299.15)?

Microsoft is no longer providing the clean ISOs (with proper Boot.wim and Install.wim and not ESD files so that you can use DISM to serve them) on a website.

But some users were able to find a way to generate download links.

• open this website


• under Select type: select Windows (Final)
  


• under Select version: select Windows 10 Version 1607, Redstone1 [Jul2016]
  


• under Select edition:select which ISo you want. Most home users want Windows 10 Pro + Home
  


• select under Select language: your language


• now select if you want 32 or 64Bit ISO:

On the right site you can find now download buttons for the selected ISO.

If you want other ISOs for Windows 10 Creators Update, select Windows 10 Version 1703, Redstone2 [March 2017] - Build 15063.0.

If you want other ISOs for Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, select Windows 10 Version 1709, Redstone3 [September 2017] - Build 16299.15.

If you want ISOs for the Windows 10 April 2018 Update (Version 1803), select Windows 10 Version 1803, Redstone4 [Apr 2018] - Build 17134.1.

Another way to download the ISO file is by using the Media Creation Tool.
Download it here. Follow the instructions to download the ISO file of the Anniversary Update.

Official Links

Microsoft provides Windows 10 ISO for both Anniversary and Creators update till now. To download that ISO file, you need to change useragent in your PC browser or use a different device other than PC. Here I use Firefox but Chrome can also be used.

Here are the two links required:

1. PC link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
   


2. Mobile link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO
   

Open Firefox (newer versions), press Ctrl+Shift+M, which opens Responsive Design Mode. Open the #1 PC link in Firefox, Choose the screen size as you want, Change useragent in the box saying Custom User Agent, Type useragent randomly (e.g. abc), Refresh (F5) that webpage and you will be automatically redirected to mobile webpage.

That webpage declares

"You’ve been routed to this page because the operating system you’re using won’t support the Windows 10 media creation tool and we want to make sure you can download Windows 10"

Then choose Windows edition, product language, and 32bit or 64bit. Remember the download link only valid upto 24 hours.

Alternatively, you can change useragent type about:config into Firefox’s address bar, right-click on the page, point to New, and select String, name the preference general.useragent.override, enter your desired user agent as the value of the preference. Check useragent in Whatismybrowser.com.

Personally, I like to use Jan Krohn's Microsoft Windows and Office ISO Download Tool for downloading the ISOs - it is a standalone-tool that will start the requested download from Microsoft's servers. Here is a screenshot of the GUI:

The ISO it provides seems to be the same as the one from the website suggested by magicandre1981 (checked SHA-1).

You can also copy the ISO's link via a button and copy it into a download tool like JDownloader.

The possible disadvantages to this tool are:

• You may need the latest version to find new OS versions,


• It asks for donating idle system resources. However, you can deny that request without drawbacks.
