Security News > 2021 > October > How to download the latest Windows 11 ISO from Microsoft
Microsoft has officially released Windows 11 and ISO images that allow you to create bootable media to perform clean installs of the operating system and troubleshoot bugs and problems.
Go to Download Windows 11 page in your favorite web browser.
Click on this button to download the Windows 11 ISO. When the download is complete, you can close the web browser.
Now that you have a Windows 11 ISO, you can use it to perform a clean Windows 11 install on a new device, as backup bootable media, or a bootable device to enter the Windows Recovery Environment to troubleshoot issues with your computer.
For Windows 7 users, you will not be able to use the media to perform an upgrade but rather do a clean install instead. To create a bootable Windows 11 USB drive, you will need at least a 16GB flash drive, while 32GB is recommended to store other files or programs you may want in your recovery environment.
As previously said, the bootable USB drive is also excellent for troubleshooting tasks, such as removing malware, deleting a stubborn file, removing problematic Windows updates, or diagnosing why Windows 11 no longer boots.
