5. Select Language, Edition, and Architecture: Choose the language, Windows edition (e.g., Windows 10 Home, Windows 10 Pro), and architecture (32-bit or 64-bit) for the ISO file. If you are unsure, select "Use the recommended options for this PC". Click "Next."

6. Choose Media: Select "ISO file" and click "Next".

7. Choose Save Location: Choose a location on your computer to save the ISO file and click "Save".
