"The entire OS family, including Server builds and Internet of Things (IoT) version, were removed from Windows Update and other servers. The Media Creation Tool was pulled too." Source. It will probably include LTSC iso's too. Best advice would be wait for the updated iso's if possible.

Only use official sources for your iso's, Always check and compare the ISO File Hash/Checksum.
Windows 11
Windows 10
Windows 8.1
Windows 7

Additional resources:

====================================================

Downloading of lite home brewed iso's is frowned upon by most of the online community, you dont know what they have taken out and worst of all you do not know what they may have put in.

NTLite allows you to create your own customised iso's. You are creating it so you know what you have taken out and what you have put in. There is support from the developer and experienced liters to help you along the way.

The Windows and Office ISO Download Tool by Jan Krohn(HeiDoc)


In Windows 10 does not need to install previous requirements.

This tool is the easiest method for downloading by architecture type and language but i recommend to use a download manager as 'Free Download Manager' for faster downloads (in minutes, not hours) by copying the link (button at the right, under windows list) for the architecture desired.

Windows Generic Installation Keys. -->Link<--

All of the examples provided are installation keys only; they will not activate your installed version of Windows. They are the default keys that are inserted if you choose to skip entering a Product Key during the installation process.

Kasual I would check Jan Krohn's downloader, you have to agree to allow it to use idle resources, something called Luminati, or you cant use it.
 
Here are loads of MSDN and related stuff The Eye

Ive had a few iso's from theye, all hash checked and original :). They list a lot of older and esoteric stuff.
They recently had problems and they seem to be missing some stuff they used to have, but they are still worth checking out.

Yeah formerly address was the-ye.eu but they went offline for a while and returned as beet.the-eye.eu.
Good source for various stuff. Download speeds are having problems time to time but overall is good.
 
A problem with the domain name with some religious group aparently.
They only allow 1 connection at a time but i get the max speed my isp allows.
 
It's best to download it from Microsoft's website (Free)

That is true but what people want isnt always availible from MS or easy to find thats why tools that give you greater control over what you can download from MS are welcome. Even then you cant always find what you are looking for so certain "archive" sites and other unknown places can be good when you know exactly what you are looking for and you know the official file hash for any download.

Old hands dont need to be told to lift the toiley seat before weeing but the new kids do so its us old farts job to educate them in the same way the forum elders and trial and error taught us.

Okay, so Windows update fails me. I need the Language Packs and Feature On Demand Packs for NTLite (En-US and if possible En-GB), and despite trying my best for days, I cannot find them. Does anyone have a link they could share?
 
...yes, there are. Not all of them give me cab packages compatible with NTLite. But I've already found one. Thanks for the non-answer though.
