Instalalation DVD for Windows 10 Pro 32-bit 1709 16299.125.

I need to install Windows 10 Pro 32 1709 16299.125 but I don't have a 32-bit .iso file for this one.
Presumably the computer is 64-bit but it comes back with a message that the contents of the DVD isn't compatible somehow.

How can I generate a Windows 10 Pro 32 1709 16299.125 DVD for a clean install?

The only media creator that I can find is focused on 1803 now....

Yes, that's the one I need to avoid dealing with incompatible legacy app's and to maintain some consistency among the other computers.
Anything newer than .125 is a problem until one gets into later versions of 1709.
Actually, later versions of 1709 would be better than nothing.
And, it appears that 1803 is even worse than some more recent ones in 1709 that we're "living with" and I have 1803 .iso files.

I have the x64 version of .125 and will be trying it.
But the original is x32 and I'd like to not have to re-license this one if possible.

Thanks!

Would you like me to upload and send you the link to the 1703.15063 32-bit ISO to test with?

John: Thanks. That's very helpful. I switched from 1703 to 1709 and at least got the initial versions for 32 and 64.
I suppose I can update from there to .125 if needed.

Link to the 1703.15063 32-bit ISO. OneDrive is doing this weird thing where even though it's a public link, it redirects after a moment and tries to get you to login... Just click back and you'll be able to access the download.

One has to be careful using the link within
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-windows_install/download-link-of-windows-10-1703-version-iso/98a99963-4e16-409f-9ffc-6787e74aec1b
You can get linked into questionable URLs!!

☠ MASQ ☠

^^ Agreed - although all that site is doing is indexing Microsoft's catalog so the download link you ultimately get is @ microsoft.com

i.e for the version requested:
https://software-download.microsoft.com/db/Win10_1709_EnglishInternational_x32.iso?t=24185b96-0d75-4af2-a924-19df2ec881e9&e=1526586032&h=9cd35997abd2da6be4598926f1f604eb

That helps from the legal side because strictly hosting it anywhere else (Reece) is something Microsoft try to avoid. Also if anyone hosts it on EE they're meant to keep that link live forever(!) so when future requests arrive they can still be solved with the same download link ;)

MASQ: Well, I was being *careful* with that site and still got taken off into the weeds. Thank goodness for Malwarebytes' blocking the URLs.
The 1703 32-bit seems iffy.

John

Of the recent updates: 1607 was good, 1709 is good, 1703 was error-prone. I was happy to see it go.
