In order to download the full version Windows 10 ISO for free, you need to complete the following steps. Download Windows 10 ISO without entering the product key. Step 1: Visit this page of Microsoft and download Media Creation Tool. As you can see in the below picture, Media Creation Tool is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
6. WinArchiver Virtual Drive
WinArchiver is a shareware archiving software and this is the standalone virtual drive component from it which is completely free. The creators, Power Software, also develop the excellent PowerISO. In addition to being able to mount up to 23 virtual drives and selecting a specific drive letter for each, WinArchiver Virtual Drive has another trick up its sleeve. That is the ability to mount just about any type of file archive as a virtual drive. Zip, 7z, RAR, WIM, CAB and many other types of archive can be mounted without actually extracting the archive first, useful for large movie or game archives. Over 25 disc image formats are also supported. Works on Windows 98 and above.
gBurner Virtual Drive is another free ISO mounting software that uses the Power Software virtual disc driver. Itâs almost identical to WinArchiver Virtual Drive apart from it supports 16 virtual drives and not 23.
7. ImDisk Virtual Disk Driver
While ImDisk is certainly a bit more complicated to use than the other tools here, it is very powerful because in addition to the option to mount ISO CD or DVD ROM images, you can also create removable or fixed virtual hard disks and floppy drives. These can be created in system memory to behave like a RAM disk which can be written to, and then saved out to a .img image file while being reloaded and reused at a later date. ImDisk Virtual Disk Driver is installed and accessed via a Control Panel entry, and is compatible with Windows NT up to Windows 8/8.1 64-bit.
8. Gizmo Drive
The Gizmo Drive tool is part of a larger suite of tools called Gizmo Central, although you can turn off the other tools during install. This is the only free virtual disc emulator that can create an image from both disc and folder. There are some other useful options like mounting virtual hard disc (VHD) files, and also a function to burn a folder or ISO to disc. Gizmo Drive also has a very handy function which is the built in support to create a RAM Disk. Have a read of our RAM disk benchmark article to see how it performs. It works on Windows 2000 up to Windows 7 64-bit.
9. DAEMON Tools Lite
Be careful during installation because Daemon Tools will ask to install adware. You will need to select the Free License during the install process, and there is also a feature pre installed by default which is an online service called Mountspace. The number of supported image formats to mount ISOs is huge and you can also create an image from a physical CD, DVD or Blu-Ray disc. Up to 4 virtual drives are supported including a SCSI virtual drive which can emulate music and game disc protections. A more recent feature adds burning an image to CD/DVD via Astroburn. Supports Windows 98 and upwards.
10. Alcohol 52% Free Edition
The free version of Alcohol 52% supports up to 6 virtual drives, RMPS protection emulation which can help with game and music disc DRM etc, an option to create images from physical discs and a CD/DVD manager that gives detailed information about drives and discs. There is also a freely downloadable Audio Converter add-on option which can rip music discs to MP3. Alcohol 52% Free Edition works on Windows 2000 up to and including Windows 8/8.1.
The free versions of Alcohol now require you to install âSmart File Advisorâ and you cannot deselect it, trying to uninstall later will uninstall Alcohol 52% as well. For this reason we recommend you only use Alcohol if you specifically need one of its features.

You can either reinstall whatever Windows OS youâre using or use a program to crack your password.
To reinstall Windows you will need the .iso file. You can torrent those off tpb or wherever. Then you need a usb drive and a program to install the OS onto the usb like Rufus. After you do that, plug it in, and boot from usb. Usually just keep pressing f9 right when you start computer. Yours might be different though, thereâs instructions on the screen at the bottom for a second or two. You will lose all your data unless you made backups. If you have Windows 10 this is probably your best option.
The other option is to download Ophcrack and their Rainbow Tables and follow the instructions. Install the Ophcrack.iso onto usb using Rufus. If your password is simple you donât need the huge rainbow table files, just try the smaller ones. Make sure to get the tables that match your OS. This method doesnât work with Windows 10 yet.
Or see if your restart disc will work, I donât know. Good Luck. And donât give up.

I have owned and used Alcohol 120% for over ten years now. It is NOT free but worth every penny. All updates have been free. It also handles several different file formats. It comes with a program called ACID which you run when a program is requiring an actual CD/DVD be in the drive. It makes it look as if the virtual drive is a real drive. The default file format is Alcoholâs MDF file format but you can reset that to be ISO. Alcohol 120% is also smart enough to know that if you want to make a copy of a double layered DVD that it needs to switch over to using a BIN type image rather than an ISO image. Again, I felt it was worth the money to buy the full blown version and over the six hard drive crashes caused by viruses or hackers or just a bad disk â Alcohol 120% has been there every step of the way.

In Windows 8 and Windows 10, there is no need for third party software. Double-clicking will mount it automatically.

Donât post fake info, idiot. Windows 8 & 10 will ask âHow would you like to open this fileâ. Then they show a list of programs, none of which mount .iso files. Third party is required for every version of Windows. Youâll need to set a virtual drive in the first place, otherwise Windows wouldnât know where to mount the image!

I have just this moment downloaded it again and installed, it offers the personal license, commercial license or free license (with adware offers) on install. Running DT-Lite it tells me I have a free license with limited support. Are you saying the âfree licenseâ is really a trial or itâs telling you that you have a trial version??
I have just downloaded it and i can confirm that you get the option for free license upon installing the software.

ImDisk is hands down the best solution for mounting ISOs and other images.
Its lighter than any other one on the list, as its not a bloated adware ridden pile of bad codjng. Itâs just a filesystem driver.
It has more features than the others, and games donât use disc protection anymore.
Youcan also make images of any of your disks, flash drives, and cds/dvds/blurays for backups or just to access the data from a file.

As an IT company we have been using MagicDisc for almost a decade and we use it weekly. Within the past few months it has failed more often than worked on Windows 7 computers. There seems to be a huge compatibility issue with the MagicDisc driver that it installs. Unfortunately, it is costing us time and money, so we will be using ImageBurn.

MagicDisc is crap with larger DVD images. To test, simply copy a file that is physically near the âendâ of the image. Boom âMS-DOS errorâ â itâs junk. Even worse is that it is the most impossible program to completely uninstall. A Big time waster.
Tested on multiple win7-x64 systems. Maybe it is better on other versions. Steyr scout rifle.
Guess what? IMGBurn has the same problem, only you can actually uninstall it.

Imageburn is by far the best.
I have tried most of the others. Imageburn has the smallest footprint of most of these. It performs all the necessary functions that a basic user needs. It mounts ISO to DVD flawlessly. If you have a DVD with content on it, Imageburn automatically detects it and asks you if you want to clean the disc. It will do that and then begin the analysis before the burn.
I tried Alcohol 120%. Everyone says it is the best. Imageburn does everything Alcohol does for the basic user and Imageburn is free.
I felt compelled to submit this because of the headaches and pains I went through with all the other listed crapware before I stumbled upon Imageburn.
Simple and intuitive UI, no bloat, fast download, install and performance, extremely accurate after 30 or so burns (DVDs perform flawlessly⦠and best of all, itâs FREE!

Everyone has their preference for a basic ISO handler. Mind is PowerISO, which is commercial, but which can be easily found for free on the torrent sites. Itâs best-of-breed (yes, even better than MagicISO); and it will now handle MagicISO native filesâ¦
â¦that is, unless theyâre compressed. Occasionally, one will encounter an ISO file that was created and then, further, compressed using MagicISO. PowerISO canât handle that, so thatâs where the little free MagicDisc utility (mentioned above) comes in.
MagicDisck can uncompress any file compressed by its parent MagicISO product. Once its uncompressed, then PowerISO (or, really, most any freeware or commercial ISO handler) can take it from there.
So, then, my point is, one should use whatever primary ISO handler that one wants to use. Most of them (including PowerISO) will mount any ISO as a virtual drive. However, because of the MagicISO compression thing, the smartest thing one can do is download and use that free little MagicDisc and let it sit in the system tray. Because it will mound multiple virtual drives, you can just let it be what you use for that purpose. But its REAL value will kick in whenever (if ever) you encounter a MagicISO-compressed ISO that you wish to use with something like PowerISO or ImgBurner or some other much more sophisticated and feature-rich ISO handler.
All of the choices in the primary article are nice and interesting, but with that free little MagicDisc utility running in oneâs system tray, one need only add whatever is oneâs choice of primary, feature-rich, freeware or commercial ISO handler software, and one will have all one needs⦠ever.
NOTE: Remember that when I say âall one needsâ and âever,â Iâm referring strictly to ISO handling, not DVD or CD ripping or decoding or anything else. There are fine utilities for those things. This article just covers CD/DVD virtual drive mounting and the free utilities that will get it done. My point with this posting is to suggest that thereâs only one choice from the above because of the vexing problem of how to handle ISO files (of whatever format) which are further compressed by MagicISO. Only the MagicDisc utility, above, will do that, so since one is likely to encounter MagicISO-compressed files in oneâs downloading experience, one might as well just get the one tool from the above list that will not only mount virtual drives, but will also handle the vexing MagicISO-related decompression problem. From there, use whatever ISO handler you like.

Alcohol 120 is the best in terms of overall features. Daemon Tools is the best in mounting images and virtual drives. It just lacks writing capability which Alcohol 120 has. My problem is both good programs canât be installed in my Windows 7 system as of the moment. I think they both installs SPTD layer or something which Windows 7 Beta wonât allow for now. UltraISO works on Windows 7 and Iâm using it. You should try it. You can open image files with it without mounting it to virtual drives. You also can edit the image fileâs contents and save it. Iâm just scouting for other programs of the like for now. Just passing by. hehe.
