Unlike Windows 11, Microsoft doesn’t provide a direct link to download the “Windows 10 ISO file” to its users. As a result, they have only two options to go ahead with. The first one uses Windows Update Assistant while the remaining one is by downloading and installing Media Creation Tool. In this post, we will discuss how to download Windows 10 22h2 ISO directly without using tools like Media Creation Tool or Update Assistant.
The direct link to download Windows 10 2022 ISO file is available on Microsoft’s Official site. However, the same is not visible by default. Use your browser’s native tools and you will see the option to select Windows 10 edition on your display screen.
Is Windows 10 22H2 available at the present?
Windows 10 22H2 is an optional update that enhances your operating system’s security and adds a few customizations. You may either opt in or out of this new Build version of Windows 10. If you wish, you may also clean install Windows 10 22h2 on your computer by making its ISO image bootable.
The link to download this feature update on Windows 10 will be available sometime around this month i.e. Oct 2022.
