Although you can download the ISO file to install Windows 10 from the Microsoft support website, you can only download the latest version, as the website does not include an option to select older versions.

However, if you upgraded your computer by mistake, you are experiencing compatibility problems with a new version, or you do not like the new release, you can download older versions of Windows 10 using the Rufus tool to rollback to a previous version.
