Windows 10 ISO Availability at Launch?

[Guest vjackerman]

Does anyone feel that the ISO will be available tomorrow? I definately want a ISO burned to a DVD so if I want to do a clean install on a machine, I don't have to do the "upgrade"....any comments?

Probably not. The best option will probably be to take the full install and then when that's completed, perform a system reset. That should get you back to a clean install of Windows 10.

Another option AFTER you take the upgrade will be to create a recovery drive and then rebuild from that.

I thought I saw somewhere that MS was going to make a ISO's available for x86 and x64 versions, so someone could do a cold boot from dvd and install clean on that hard disk? The full install will perform a system reset? I have recovery software (Acronis), but that won't let me do a clean install of the OS only after taking an image... I took an image today, and am going to try the "upgrade" option when released, eliminating many many hours of battling reinstall of everything and wrestling with registration / serial #'s and stuff. But I sure hope I find an ISO for x64 somewhere.

Here is a Paste from elsewhere with a Link to ISO source:

Will Microsoft make Windows 10 available as an ISO file?

Yes, you will be able to download Windows 10 as an ISO disk image and use it for clean installs or upgrades. The general public can download from here, beginning on July 29.
