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.

Best Gaming Laptops You Can Buy Right Now

Gaming Laptops are no joke. They pack some serious performance under the hood that even some mid-range desktops cannot match. They’re often considered as huge, heavy and fat machines with red and blue paint all over their chassis, but that’s not the case at present. Over the past few years, manufacturers have introduced laptops packing more and more power in a thinner and lighter chassis. If you take a look at a gaming laptop from ten years ago and compare to anything from the present, I can guarantee that your jaw will drop and you’ll start wondering how technology has improved over the decade. Here are the top 10 performance grade laptops to make your selection from. 1.

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

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

Running Windows apps on your Android device using Wine

The title seemed like it's reverse. Didn't it? haha Yes, I'm not talking about running Android apps in Windows, I'm talking about running Windows x86 apps in your Android!!! Developers from CodeWeavers have just released version 3.0 of the Wine compatibility layer for Linux-based systems, which can now be built into an APK package and installed on your Android device. Earlier it could power Chromebooks to do the same. Wine 3.0 release represents a year of development effort and over 6,000 individual changes. You can get the full documentation here . Image source :Android Police Although you’ll need an x86 Android device to take full advantage of it. Wine does support ARM devices, but you can only use programs that were ported to Windows RT. You can find a few examples here. The Wine project is working on using QEMU to emulate x86 CPU instructions on ARM, but that’s not complete yet. XDA Developers forum has a list of such apps that can be run full-fledge
