Download It Is

What you do with the Windows 10 disc image after you download it is up to you, but there are no practical limitations on the file as its a full official release as a disc image, downloaded directly from Microsoft.

The file arrives as a standard.iso disk image file.

Heres what youll want to do.

If youre downloading Windows 10 onto a Mac, you will find the iso file in the downloads directory when it is complete.

Its a full Windows 10 ISO and is therefore compatible with anything that Windows would normally be compatible with.

The disc image download is free, though obviously a product key is not.

Activating Windows 10 can be done after installing by entering a product key either obtained from the Microsoft ordering process or elsewhere.

Its also helpful for developers or those who need to just run Windows 10 for a specific purpose, perhaps for testing a particular single game or particular application.

Do note that web developers have another option available which is to run Microsoft Edge and Windows 10 in a dedicated virtual machine as described here, which is also an official download from Microsoft.

That solution may be easier for some users if the primary intention of downloading Windows 10 is to run in a virtual machine anyway, since it arrives as pre-configured VM that only needs to be launched into VirtualBox or VMware.

For optimal performance however, youll want to run Windows 10 directly, either on a PC or through Boot Camp on a Mac.

Whats this Windows thing you speak of I thought I was looking at OS X Daily Obviously my mistake.

If I was sufficiently interested to read about Windows, where on the net do you think I would start looking Not OS X Daily.

But its good to have this on OSXDaily, all the same, and is a pretty good sign of the times.

Personally I prefer Windows 8.1 with Classic Shell.

YMMV. I do hope Windows 10 gets better in the privacy department, though, as Im more motivated than ever to leave OS X.

The Windows 10 Pro product key is about 200 in the USA and can be bought from the official Microsoft store online.

BUT it is NOT FREE only the DL is, if you wish to use it for more than the 20 day trial you MUST PAY.

In Windows 10, I saved a test file from Notepad and then looked around for a way to add tags to the file, like in macOS.

I run Windows 10 in a Virtual Machine, shut it down when I dont need it and use a saved state, maybe that is why.

How To Activate It

The golden question is: Do you know how to activate it for free:).
