      This link walks you through tweaking Chrome on MS's page to look like you're using an iPAD Pro to download 1809 or 1903 directly.

      This would circumvent the EULA, no?

      Are you constantly looking over your shoulder for the dreaded Microsoft police? And can you say that 100% of the MS licensing at your job and home are totally legal and compliant to their EULA? I've literally never seen anyone so concerned with MS licensing.

      At home I am 100% compliant, where I work is another story as I don't manage it here and thus don't care.

            The EULA of what, the website? MS is voluntarily giving you the download in this case.

              Attempting to be compliant is never a bad thing. Sure, most places make mistakes somewhere. But mistakes being made isn't a reason to avoid attempting to do the right thing.

                The EULA of the ISO, which I thought had some sort of verbiage stating it could only be used to install the most current Windows 10 at the time of use.

                I could be mistaken, which is why I was asking.

                  If I download it from MS and install, and it works, as far as I'm concerned, it's compliant. All that legalese BS in the EULA can kiss the fattest part of my ass. It's good to attempt to be compliant, but worrying about it is a fool's game.

                        @IRJ total compliance with all laws is annoying. I, for one, will only obey the certain laws of man that I deem worthy and just.

                          So are DWI and DUI laws just, murder laws just?

                          We can really go down that rabbit hole if you want. . . but I'm drinking now and it might get messy or I'll just stop responding

                              Speaking of laws try following the 613 Commandments in the Old Testament Law

                                So to summarize - if you just change the user agent in the browser, so Microsoft don't think you're running Windows, you can download iso-files directly.

                                Aka user agent spoofing.

                                Download link is:
                                https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO

                                With Firefox you can just goto about:config and add a specific user agent string for microsoft.com by adding:
                                general.useragent.override.microsoft.com
                                And set it to this for example:
                                Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 3_2_1 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/7B405
