Hello Kiwiforce, I understand that you're facing issues with downloading Windows and seem to be stuck in a loop. This can be frustrating, but let's try to troubleshoot this together. Here are some steps you can follow to resolve this issue: 1. Use the Media Creation Tool: Instead of relying on the direct download link, try using the Media Creation Tool provided by Microsoft. This tool helps in creating installation media for Windows, which can be used for upgrades, installations, or creating a bootable USB drive. 2. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies: Sometimes, browser cache and cookies can cause issues with downloads. Clearing them might help resolve any download loop issues. 3. Try a Different Browser: If you're experiencing issues with one browser, try downloading using a different browser like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Microsoft Edge. 4. Check Internet Connection: Ensure that your internet connection is stable and not causing interruptions during the download process. 5. Verify System Requirements: Make sure that your system meets the minimum requirements for the version of Windows you are trying to download. 6. Disable Antivirus/Firewall: Sometimes, security software can interfere with downloads. Temporarily disable your antivirus and firewall and try downloading Windows again. 7. Download from Official Microsoft Website: Make sure you are downloading Windows from the official Microsoft website to avoid any potential risks from third-party sources. If you encounter any specific error messages or face any difficulties during these steps, feel free to provide more details so I can assist you further.
