I recently asked if MAS was save to activate windows, it turns out it was as I hoped.
However, I’ve one last doubt: I downloaded the iso from MASSGRAVE (it-it_windows_10_consumer_editions_version_22h2_updated_may_2024_x64_dvd_49ddadb6.iso) and I installed that already.
Also, I logged in my accounts and used sensible passwords already, should I be worried about this? (I ask because some pirates said the ISO should have been downloaded from Microsoft website :/ ).
I’ve done quite a of setup already so it’d be annoying, even changing password is. I’ll see what I can do next month as I’m to buys the next weekdays and weekends
There are legitimate versions of windows that are hard to get as a non enterprise consumer. Such as some of the IOT versions that have much longer security support.
I wasn’t using a VPN last time the download didn’t work, but it might have something to do with me using NextDNS and blocking some of their tracking stuff that way.
I still can’t understand how to download the ISO, all I can do is downloading a tool to create a ISO… I’d like to download the sama exact win10 Italian version in order to compare checksum, since I’ve done a lot of setup already on the laptop

Always download your Windows ISOs from MS directly: https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10ISO?msockid=1f1e1899fbc26e530dcb0cebfa3f6f8b
The moment you get them from somewhere else, no, it cannot be deemed 100% safe.
No Windows 11 download page and I’m using script from github to force Windows 11 on non supported device but I don’t know if it’s safe

Unless you compare the checksum is a match from the ones from Microsoft.
Yeah. But unless MS has blocked you, I still don’t see the point getting it elsewhere.
May as well use M$’s bandwidth

Windows LTSC ftw.
They block VPN users.
Never had an issue getting an iso from them via Mullvad.
How recently. I tested with Mullvad and it gave me a notice.
Huh, you’re right. But a few weeks ago I was definitely able to download via Fido. Maybe try that.

One way to get there might be to hash the iso and then search that hash to see if you find someone referencing it for the official image.
