If you need to reinstall Windows on your computer, but you don't have a physical installation disc, then you will need to navigate through Microsoft's labyrinthian website and find the edition you need. Alternatively, you can turn to Windows ISO Downloader and get the Windows version you need faster, easier and for free. This is a community-driven project, through which you can get genuine Windows and Office virtual image files (ISO). They are either second-hand licenses or leftover downloads that were pulled in early 2014. Although it is a matter of luck when it comes to actually finding a working download link, it is still a good solution if you really need to reinstall your operating system and you don't know where you can turn to.

Windows ISO Downloader is distributed as a freeware application, but users who contribute to the project have a higher priority. Instead of a monetary contribution, the developers ask users to contribute with idle system resources, though they don't specify what they use them for. The software is portable, so you can use it even from a removable drive, without installing anything and making changes to your system's Registry.

The software makes it quite easy to find Windows ISO files. You can pick a Windows version by clicking one of the radio buttons in the upper-right corner of the interface, where you can also choose from various Office versions and other tools, on separate tabs. The software lets you choose between Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, various Office versions, including Mac editions, as well as a series of miscellaneous tools, like Xbox Development kit, Windows Admin Center and others.

Once your selection is made, the software will present a series of download options in the larger part of its interface. You can pick a specific edition and a product language in separate drop-down menus, after which you may choose between 32 and 64-bit editions. Finally, the application will ask you where you want to download the ISO and the operation will start right away.

Windows ISO Downloader requires a modern .NET Framework version and Internet Explorer, to download ISO files successfully, but this shouldn't be a problem for any modern-day computer. You may also want to make sure you have a stable Internet connection, because interrupted downloads can't be resumed. Furthermore, finding the exact ISO you are looking for is a matter of chance, which can be improved by helping the developers with your idle resources.

Fortunately, the software doesn't trigger any malware warnings and it asks you if you want to contribute, instead of using your resources without asking. Also, you can opt out of the resources contribution at any time, by simply clicking a checkbox, on the Settings tab, in the upper-right corner of the interface.

If you need a fresh Windows installation, Windows ISO Downloader provides you with a quick, fast and safe solution.

Pros

The software lets you download legitimate copies of Windows, Office and other tools. It lets you pick between various editions. Windows ISO Downloader has a simple design and it is quite easy to use.

Cons

A bit more transparency regarding how a user's resources are used and for what purpose would be a good thing.
