📎 AI Summary:
The forum thread discusses how to find direct download links for Windows 10 version 1803 ISOs without using Microsoft's Media Creation Tool. The original poster seeks links for an April build 1803 ISO and expresses frustration with the lack of straightforward options. Replies clarify that Microsoft primarily provides the Media Creation Tool for downloads, but users have suggested methods like changing browser user agents or extracting links from product files; some advise directly downloading the ISO using tools like Rufus for creating USB installers. Overall, the sentiment indicates difficulty in obtaining direct ISO links from Microsoft for older Windows builds.

In the past there were download pages resp. links for Win10 EVAL versions of 32+64bit which do NOT require registration.

I can't find them any more.
I am interested in download the ISOs for April build 1803 (=NOT the newest one)

Does someone know such webpages (or direct links) which allow download?

Thank you
Peter

Thank you but your link does NOT provide direct link to ISO just to Media Creation Tool which I don't want.

Any other ideas?

It does if you change the browsers user agent to Linux or other non Windows browser

You can also technically pull the direct links from the products.xml file too, but you'll need to decrypt the ESD files.

Yes but it's through the media creation tool that you download the iso.

Just follow the prompts, you don't need to enter an activation key or perform any other hoop jumping requirement other than being able to read and click a mouse.

If your wanting to use a USB method then I would still download the iso but use Rufus to create the usb installer rather than Microsoft method which usually borks.
