Where to get ISO images for Windows Installation Media?

-
Microsoft officially equips a Media Creation Tool for creating bootable medias. But if you haven't a fast interrupted unlimited internet connection, it won't work for you as it doesn't let you pause and resume the download for later. You have to download the whole image at one go which is, you know, might not be feasible for all folks there. So, it's always a better idea to get the ISO image manually which you can download with your Download Manager application with full pause and resume support.

There are multiple sources to get images, it is really hard to find the legitimate and strutted ones.
Here is a website called Windows ISO DB.

It will provide you with the vast majority of nearly all Windows ISO versions you might be looking for. Be it Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10. Windows Home, Windows Professional and Windows Ultimate and Starter. The newest Windows 10 with the Creators Update (2017) is the most recent addition to their database.

You can also get the insider build directly as DVD images.

Talking of authenticity,  download links for Windows ISOs are directly from Microsoft servers.

Let me show you one. I'm downloading the latest Windows 10 Creators Update 32-bit English (GB) version.

When you look at the download link i.e.
[https://software-download.microsoft.com/pr/Win10_1703_English_x32.iso?t=e16e599f-12fa-486c-b02e-94e172d2b9cd&e=1503264922&h=e69eea41bebf354530885b05818733df], see that the domain is microsoft.com itself.

And product key? Don't worry. The newer versions, as you know give you the option to skip the step and let you enter the key after your installation is complete. Still, if you want one to do the job, they provide you with a valid and working generic key. They are blocked at the Microsoft clearinghouse and therefore cannot be used to activate any productive systems to fully working retail installations.
You can always get your product key from Microsoft's Official Store.

How to verify your downloaded files using MD5 Checksum on Windows?

-
Image
MD5 stands for Message Digest version 5 . The MD5 algorithm takes a file (the “message”) of any size, and reduces it down to a code that looks like this: “ac30ce5b07b0018d65203fbc680968f5″ (the “digest”). The brilliant thing about the MD5 algorithm is that if the message changes by so much as a single byte, it will produce a completely different digest. An MD5 sum is a string of letters and numbers that acts like a fingerprint for a file. If two files have the same MD5 sum, the files are exactly alike - which is why MD5 "fingerprints" can verify whether or not your downloaded file got corrupted in transit, hence it is used to verify the integrity of files, as virtually any change to a file will cause its MD5 hash to change. MD5 digests have been widely used in the software world to provide some assurance that a transferred file has arrived intact. For example, file servers often provide a pre-computed MD5 (known as md5sum) checksum for the files, so that a user can compare th...

The World of Technology

Without technology, our lives wouldn't be just the usual walk in the park daily routine. Technology is a huge contributor to the well being of human kind. Just try to imagine how hard it would be to make it through the day without the simplest of technologies. We have grown by using the luxuries that technology provides that many wouldn't know how to adapt to the traditional and simpler methods. Technology has surely proven itself to be very beneficial, if not necessary. Some people may be confused on what exactly technology is? Technology is the systematic study of the methods and techniques employed in industry, research, agriculture, and commerce. These studies are then put to use in order to make daily life much easier. Some might think that technology is not necessary due to the opinion that it brings out the worst in people. The earliest technologies of all time are said to be made during the Paleolithic Era. When these technologies were made, language was a key factor in...

How to check your anti-virus is working or not using anti-malware testfile?

-
Image
Say, you want to test your anti-virus program on your PC. Using real viruses for testing in the real world is rather like setting fire to the dustbin in your office to see whether the smoke detector is working. Such a test will give meaningful results, but with unappealing, unacceptable risks. Since it is unacceptable for you to send out real viruses for test or demonstration purposes, you need a file that can safely be passed around and which is obviously non-viral, but which your anti-virus software will react to as if it were a virus. The good news is that such a test file already exists. A number of anti-virus researchers have already worked together to produce a file that their (and many other) products "detect" as if it were a virus. It's called EICAR.COM anti malware testfile. It is also short and simple - in fact, it consists entirely of printable ASCII characters, so that it can easily be created with a regular text editor. So, without any further ado, lets get d...
