FREE Icons Websites

Can someone provide with some links on how to download FREE icons for Windows 10. I want to make sure that the provided link will allow me to download multiples at one time(20 or more) . I have come across a web site {IconArchive.com}but it would only allow me to download 1 at a time. If you can include instructions on DOWNLOAD I would greatly appreciate it if it is not included in the web site.
Thank you.

I will check it out Andrew. Thank you.

John:
That site is not very user friendly! I got a message from windows and I wanted to put the icons in one folder but it does not show me how. Take a look.

in the zip folder there are 7 sub folders inside. Do I click on each one of them to download? or click on the .ico and .icns and 48x48 being the largest size? Please help.

Further, from the quick look I've had, the 16x16, 24x24, 32x32, and 48x48 folders are all the same icons, only in different sizes :)

Check out what's there and see if anything catches your eye :)
Andrew

are those numbers indicate the icon size. If so I would like to download the biggest size 48x48. Secondly, are the other folders that do not have a file extension like .ico and .icns . Do they have .png , .jpg inside. How do you convert them ?
 Can you download all of the 7 folders at one time and then do the conversion by sorting through type?

Also Note: ALL the folders have exactly the same icons in them, just saved in different file formats so you can manipulate them if you want. So if you just look through all of the .ICO folder, then every icon available to you (and already downloaded) will be in there and the two sub folders inside (Disabled and Hot) for you to use straight away.

There is no need to explore ALL the folders unless you want to change the size of the icons in the .ico folder. In that case, you would find the icon you like in the say, 48x48 folder, and convert it to a .ico Windows Icon file using the website above for example.

That make more sense now or have I confused you even more? lol

I think you need to use their app. I cannot assist further.
Thank you Andrew. You have an exceptional way of explaining things. Simple and easy to understand. You should publish a series Tech Support for Dummies. I know it will do very well.
Thank you so much for your very kind words Basem, they are very much appreciated and make the work that goes into answering questions all that much more worthwhile.
