📎 AI Summary:
The original poster explains difficulties obtaining a consistent Windows 10 ISO using the media creation tool, noting the lack of checksum verification and varying file hashes. They ask if this behavior is normal, if official checksum lists exist, and how to generate predictable images. A respondent confirms this variation is expected but is unaware of any published checksum lists, suggesting that a stable, official image would require obtaining a dedicated copy directly from Microsoft.

Users from the Russian Federation can currently get iso only through the windows media creation tool service. And since microsoft does not provide checksums, there is no way to check the created image, moreover, the checksums of the files vary with each new launch. Based on the above, I have a few questions: Is this behavior of the media creation tool normal? Is there an official checksum list of installation images? Is there a way to force the media creation tool to predictably create an image of the specified version?

As a result of a motherboard failure and a long search for a replacement, I found myself in a situation where I simply do not have windows 10 iso. Windows 7 was left without support and the behavior of the media creation tool is hardly trustworthy. I will be glad of any help, and apologize for the machine translation.

yes its normal but I don't know if any list of checks has been pubbed

the only way to force it would be a hard copy stored on a special harddrive that you get from Microsoft and that is what happens when Microsoft gives you a licence to make refurbished systems
