Always download your Windows ISOs from MS directly: https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10ISO?msockid=1f1e1899fbc26e530dcb0cebfa3f6f8b
The moment you get them from somewhere else, no, it cannot be deemed 100% safe.
Unless you compare the checksum is a match from the ones from Microsoft.
Yeah. But unless MS has blocked you, I still don’t see the point getting it elsewhere.
May as well use M$’s bandwidth
There are legitimate versions of windows that are hard to get as a non enterprise consumer. Such as some of the IOT versions that have much longer security support.
Windows LTSC ftw.
I still can't understand how to download the ISO, all I can do is downloading a tool to create a ISO... I'd like to download the sama exact win10 Italian version in order to compare checksum, since I've done a lot of setup already on the laptop
One way to get there might be to hash the iso and then search that hash to see if you find someone referencing it for the official image.

They block VPN users.
Never had an issue getting an iso from them via Mullvad.
How recently. I tested with Mullvad and it gave me a notice.
Huh, you're right. But a few weeks ago I was definitely able to download via Fido. Maybe try that.
I wasn't using a VPN last time the download didn't work, but it might have something to do with me using NextDNS and blocking some of their tracking stuff that way.
