Download Windows 12
Welcome to our Download Windows 12 Page. (Updated October 30, 2023)
You can typically download Windows ISO files with or with or without the Media Creation Tool to upgrade or clean install the latest version of the operating system.
Now we have some updates. Here are some ways to install Windows 12.
Windows 12 Installation Assistant
Some notes about the Windows 12 Installation Assistant
This assistant is for those who wish to upgrade a Windows 10 PC to Windows 12.
Before you begin, check to see if the following conditions apply to you:
- You have a Windows 10 license.
- Your PC must have Windows 10, version 2004 or higher installed to run Installation Assistant.
- Your PC meets the Windows 12 device specifications for upgrade requirements and supported features. Certain features require additional hardware. Microsoft also recommends that you visit your PC’s manufacturer’s website for information about updated drivers and hardware compatibility.
- Your PC must have 9 GB of free disk space to download Windows 12.
After you download the Installation Assistant:
- Select Run. You need to be an administrator to run this tool.
- Once the tool confirms the device hardware is compatible, you will be presented with the license terms. Select Accept and Install.
- Once the tool is ready, click the Restart Now button to complete installation on your computer.
- It might take some time to install Windows 12, and your PC will restart a few times. Make sure you don’t turn off your PC.

Create Windows 12 Installation files or media
Some notes about creating new media or files.
Here’s some of what you need.
- An internet connection (internet service provider fees may apply).
- Sufficient data storage available on the computer, USB, or external drive you are downloading the .iso file to.
- A blank DVD disc with at least 8GB (and DVD burner) to create a bootable disc. We recommend using a blank USB or blank DVD because any content on it will be deleted during installation.
- If you receive a “disc image file is too large” message while attempting to burn a DVD bootable disc from an ISO file, consider using a higher capacity Dual Layer DVD.
Make sure you’re ready with a device that:
- Has a 64-bit CPU: Windows 12 can only run on 64-bit CPUs. To see if your PC has one, go to Settings > System > About, or search “System Information” in Windows and look under “System Type.”
- Meets system requirements: Not all devices running Windows 10 are eligible to receive a Windows 12 upgrade. See the Windows 12 device specifications for upgrade requirements and supported features. Certain features require additional hardware. We also recommend that you visit your PC’s manufacturer’s website for information about updated drivers and hardware compatibility.
- WARNING: Installing Windows 12 media on a PC that does not meet the Windows 12 minimum system requirements is not recommended and may result in compatibility issues. If you proceed with installing Windows 12 on a PC that does not meet the requirements, that PC will no longer be supported and won’t be entitled to receive updates. Damages to the PC due to lack of compatibility aren’t covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
- Matches your current language: You’ll need to choose the same language when you install Windows 12. To see what language you’re currently using, go to Time & language in PC settings or Region in Control Panel.
Using the Media Creation Tool to create new media:
- After downloading, run the media creation tool. You need to be an administrator to run this tool.
- If you agree to the license terms, select Accept.
- On the What do you want to do? page, select Create installation media for another PC, and then select Next.
- Select the language, edition, and architecture (64-bit) for Windows 12.
- Select which media you want to use:
- USB flash drive: Attach a blank USB flash drive with at least 8GB of space. Any content on the flash drive will be deleted.
- ISO file: Save an ISO file to your PC. This can be used to create a bootable DVD. After the file is downloaded, you can go to the location where the file is saved, or select Open DVD burner, and follow the instructions to burn the file to a DVD.
After the media is created:
- To check for updates now, select the Start button, and then go to Settings > Windows Update, and select Check for updates. You may also wish to visit your device manufacturer’s support site for any additional drivers that may be needed.
Note: Drivers for Surface devices may be found on the Download drivers and firmware for Surface page.
Before you install Windows 12, it’s a good idea to save any work and back up your PC before you start. If you used the Media Creation Tool to download an ISO file for Windows 12, remember to burn it to a DVD before following these steps:
- Attach the USB flash drive or insert the DVD on the PC where you want to install Windows 12.
- Restart your PC.
- If your PC does not automatically boot to the USB or DVD media, you might have to open a boot menu or change the boot order in your PC’s BIOS or UEFI settings.
- To open a boot menu or change the boot order, you’ll typically need to press a key (such as F2, F12, Delete, or Esc) immediately after you turn on your PC. For instructions on accessing the boot menu or changing the boot order for your PC, check the documentation that came with your PC or go to the manufacturer’s website.
- If you do not see the USB or DVD media device listed within the boot options, you may need to reach out to the PC manufacturer for instructions for temporarily disabling Secure Boot in your BIOS settings.
- If changing the boot menu or order doesn’t work, and your PC immediately boots into the OS you want to replace, it is possible the PC had not fully shut down. To ensure the PC fully shuts down, select the power button on the sign-in screen or on the Start menu and select Shut down.
- On the Install Windows page, select your language, time, and keyboard preferences, and then select Next.
- Select Install Windows.

Download Windows 12 on your computer or mobile device
There are leaked builds of the new operating system floating around a couple of weeks ago, but we would really, really stress that you don’t go looking for them. Most of the sites claiming to have it are likely going to load up your system with malware instead, possibly even locking you out entirely with ransomware.
What’s more, the Windows 12 download is going to be a free upgrade if you have Windows 10, so there’s no reason to try and find a pirated version of an incomplete operating system.
Download the Official Windows 12 ISO image
August 19th, 2021 – Microsoft has released the first-ever official Windows 12 ISO image, letting users clean install the upcoming operating system on either a dedicated system or in a virtual machine.
Those of you interested in grabbing these official ISO images can head on over to the Software Downloads page and select your desired files to clean install Windows 11.
In fact, the software titan is recommending users to do just that — perform clean installs of the operating system to try out the new out-of-box experience included in the operating system. The OOBE is, as a matter of fact, one of the fancier new features in the OS.
You can grab the files from the link below.
