Heidos net windows iso downloader

HeiDoc.net has a free tool called HeiDoc.net Windows ISO Downloader that, as the
name suggests, lets you download ISO files of Windows software. Specifically,
it gives you download links to Windows operating systems and Microsoft Office
programs.

The program is completely portable, meaning
you don’t have to install anything to your computer. Just open the program and
choose what you want to download.

This sounds like a dream come true! You can
download Windows for free and grab any new Microsoft Office program with just a
few clicks. While this is definitely true, it’s not as true as you probably
want it to be.

What Do
You Get?

HeiDoc.net Windows ISO Downloader offers
Windows and Office ISO files. Here’s a list of some of the more popular
software you can grab with this free tool:

• Windows 10
• Windows 8.1
• Windows 7
• Microsoft Office 2019 (Windows and
  Mac)
• Microsoft Office 2016 (Windows and
  Mac)
• Microsoft Office 2013 (Windows)
• Microsoft Office 2011 (Mac)
• Microsoft Office 2010 (Windows)
• Dell-specific Windows operating
  systems

You can also download specific Microsoft
Office programs within the years mentioned above. For example, you can get Word
2019 instead of the whole suite, or just Excel, Access, Publisher, Visio, etc.

There are also insider preview and developer
builds available through HeiDoc.net’s Windows ISO downloader, such as for
Windows Server. Also included occasionally are other downloads in the New Additions section.

What’s
the Catch?

There isn’t one! All the Windows downloads and
MS Office files are 100% free and legal to download because they come directly
from Microsoft’s website (software-download.microsoft.com). This also means
they’re totally clean from viruses.

However, it’s important to understand how Windows software activation works. Microsoft lets you download some versions of Windows for free, even from their website, but the fine print is that you can’t actually activate Windows software without a product key.

A product key is used by Microsoft to validate
a purchase, to confirm that you actually own the program or operating system.
Without a product key, anyone could at any time download Windows 8, for
example, and never activate it, thus allowing completely free use.

So, in the case of HeiDoc.net Windows ISO
Downloader, while you can get the software for free as many times as you want,
you’ll find that without a real product key, you’ll either be faced with
limited capabilities when you install the software or you won’t be able to
fully install it at all.

Note:
Windows 10 is one exception where you can actually install the OS from the
Windows 10 ISO download, and never activate it. As of the writing of this
article, Windows 10 doesn’t really limit much in terms of use for unactivated
Windows 10 installs. This is different than older versions of Windows.

How
Does It Work?

Using HeiDoc.net Windows ISO Downloader is
pretty straightforward. Choose what to download and then click the download
option to save the ISO to your computer.

Step 1: Visit HeiDoc.net and click the EXE file link next to Download.

Step 2: Open the download, called Windows-ISO-Downloader.exe,
to see the program. Remember, you don’t have to install anything, so it will open
immediately.

Step 3: A sponsor page will pop up, but don’t worry, it’s not malware. It’s just an ad in the program. You don’t have to wait for it to time out. Just move it to the side and use the main window. You can click Close after a minute or two.

Step 4: Select the Windows tab to
download a Windows ISO, or Office to
download Microsoft Office for free.

Step 5: Use the drop-down menu to select which version of Windows or MS
Office you want.

Step 6: Select Confirm for the
Windows download, or Download for MS
Office ISOs.

If you’re downloading Microsoft Office, this
is the last step for you. You’ll also be asked which language you want the
program to be in. Select the download button to open the link in your default
browser to begin the download, or use the copy link to the right of the program
to download Office in a different browser or file downloader.

Step 7: Choose the Windows edition you want, as well as the product language,
selecting Confirm after both.

Step 8: Pick the 64-bit Download
option to get Windows for a 64-bit computer, or 32-bit Download for 32-bit systems. Another option is to select one
of the Copy Link options off to the
right so that you can download the Windows ISO in your own browser or download
manager.

What to
Do Next

Now that you have Windows or MS Office in the
ISO format, you can install it like any ISO file.

This means you can burn the Windows image to a disc or put it on a flash drive, and then boot to it (you have to change the boot order) to install Windows on the computer. Or, if you’re using a virtual machine, just mount the ISO directly to install Windows or MS Office as if it were on a disc.

To use a Microsoft Office ISO, extract it with a file extraction program like 7-Zip. From there, you can run the setup program to install the software to your computer to use Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, etc.
