Чтобы установить одну из версий линейки Виндовс 10 64bit на русском языке, загруженных с сайта Microsoft официально, нужно скачать Windows 10 x64 22h2 MSDN 2023 чистый оригинальный ISO с MD5 контролем торрент для установки на компьютер или ноутбук.
Windows 10 оригинальная x64 – самая востребованная ОС в мире на сегодняшний день. Актуальную официальную версию охотно устанавливают и хвалят пользователи. Несмотря на то, что полным-полно игровых сборок Виндовс 10, люди доверяют именно оригиналу. Мы специально добавляем контрольные суммы .iso образов (MD5 и другие хеши), чтобы вы могли сверить и убедиться, что это настоящий оригинал MSDN. В последние годы Майкрософт стала понемногу утяжелять «десятку» — это связано с появлением многих новых видеокарт и других устройств, которые должны поддерживаться системным ядром 22H2. Кроме этого появилось немало новых Метро-приложений за последние год-два, да и Edge Chromium стал прилично «весить» тоже. Поэтому владельцы слабых ПК, как правило, ищут версии полегче, чем эта, например, LTSC 1809 или даже LTSB 1607. Как и для Windows 11, для актуальной «десятки» желателен SSD. В последнее время Майкрософт очень старается улучшить Defender, чтоб обеспечить достойную защиту для системы. Если вы не будете отключать в системе UAC, Смартскрин, Защитника, — то можете даже не сомневаться в высокой надежности оригинальной версии Windows 10 х64. Если вы начинающий пользователь – смело оставляйте базовые настройки Виндовс без изменений, т.к. они самые безопасные, проверенные и универсальные.

Скриншоты системы Windows 10 64bit

Чем записать, какую редакцию выбрать и как установить
-Лучшими и самыми надежными программами записи признаны Rufus, Ventoy. Если они вам незнакомы – то прочтите инструкции к ним со скринами.
-Оптимальный вариант установки – чистая. Для этого грузитесь с флешки, выбираете редакцию, указываете и форматируете раздел.
-Можете даже не обращать внимание на предложение ввести ключ в ходе установки, указываете «Нет ключа», ведь активировать можно и позже.
-Какая редакция лучше у «десятки»? Самая популярная – Professional, затем – Корпоративная. Что касается Домашних редакций, то они имеют целый ряд ограничений по их управлению, высоким спросом не пользуются.
-Не все знают, как на финале установки получить именно локальную учетку. Чтобы не заморачиваться, можете после второй перезагрузки отключить Интернет, и тогда в любом случае будет обеспечена именно локальная учетка.
-При первом старте не спешите, пусть система подтянет и установит драйвера (если будет подключен Интернет). Также можете имеющиеся официальные драйвера применить, либо автоматизированный установщик драйверов. Нужно устанавливать именно 64-битные драйвера на 64-битную систему. И очень желательно использовать всегда свежую актуальную версию «дров» (особенно, если они имеются в наличии для версии 22H2).

Как правильно пользоваться Windows 10 64-бит
Для начала – две главные рекомендации Майкрософт – не запрещать обновления, не выключать Защитника. Заметьте, что в сборках чаще всего выключают Защитника (или предлагают его выключить). Также Microsoft советует пользоваться имеющимися элементами интерфейса для настройки, а не скриптами (особенно, чужими), reg-файлами и твикерами.
Берите драйвера с их офсайтов. Да, есть конечно набор SamDrivers (который тоже может выручить), но это вариант всё-таки похуже, чем стандартные официальные драйвера. Готовыми драйверпаками чаще всего пользуются сисадмины, т.к. время ограничено, а парк компьютеров может быть внушительным. Но дело в том, что достаточно всего лишь одного кривого (или неправильно установленного драйвера), чтобы возникали экраны смерти потом при работе.
Используйте официальный софт. В наши дни много различных бесплатных репаков, и трояны в них не редкость. Скачав программу, осуществите проверку (в «Свойствах» файла), есть ли цифровая подпись у нее. Устанавливать официальный софт гораздо безопасней, хотя и среди него встречается немало нежелательных программ. Встроенный Смартскрин, как правило, блокирует неподписанный софт. Но некоторые пользователи его отключают, чтобы было возможно установить и поиграть в любимую игру (к примеру).

For users on Windows 10 version 20H2 or above, you can upgrade to this version faster from the Windows Update Settings page than those with older versions. Alternatively, you can also use the downloadable ISO files below to perform a clean install.

In addition, users running the Home and Pro editions will receive 18 months of servicing, and Enterprise and Education editions will have 30 months of service.

This update isn’t as impressive as the recent Windows 11 feature update as it does not include any drastic features. In fact, Microsoft didn’t even bother to mention the new changes in their announcement.

Windows 10 Version 22H2

Windows 10 Version 22H2 is an updated version of Windows 10, following Windows 10 Version 21H2. It was released in October 2021, with several new features and improvements aimed at improving productivity, security, and accessibility. There are also enhancements to the Windows Shell, File Explorer, and even the Start Menu. What’s more, this version is expected to be more stable and reliable than the previous versions, with Microsoft aiming to focus on delivering quality updates rather than just quantity.

What’s new in this version?

Although version 22H2 is a major feature upgrade for Windows 10, it does not include any new features. Instead, Microsoft has focused on releasing quality improvements and security updates that were long due.

Create Bootable Windows 10 22H2 USB Flash Drive

Creating a bootable device out of an ISO image is relatively easy. You can create a bootable USB drive as well as a DVD. However, we suggest that you create a USB drive as it is more convenient.

You can use Rufus or Ventoy to create a bootable USB flash drive using the ISO image that you have downloaded for Windows 10 2022 Update in the steps above. Now let us show you how to create a bootable USB drive using Rufus:

Learn how to create a multi-boot USB flash drive with multiple ISO files using Ventoy.

1. Start by plugging in your USB flash drive (at least 8GB) to your computer and make sure that all your data on the USB is backed up since it requires formatting where all previous data is lost.

2. Now, download Rufus from their website and install it on your computer. Alternatively, you can also download the portable version which does not need any installation.

   

3. Once downloaded, run Rufus. Select the USB flash drive from the drop-down menu under Device. Then, click Select under Boot selection and navigate to the downloaded Windows 10 22H2 ISO file. Leave the rest of the settings to their default values and click Start.

   

   If asked for confirmation, click OK to proceed.

4. Your Windows 10 22H2 bootable USB drive will now be in the making. This step may take a few minutes. Once it is finished, Ready will be displayed with a green bar. You may then close the app.

   

Your bootable drive is now ready and you may proceed to the installation phase using the guide given below.

Install Windows 10 22H2 using ISO Image File

You can now begin installing Windows 10 22H2 using the bootable USB drive. Here is how:

3. You will now see a menu such as the one below. Click Next.

7. In the next window, check the box to accept the license agreement and click Next.
