If you find yourself on this page, then almost certainly you are interested in the question, where can I download official version operating system Windows 10 in Russian for free... I must say frankly, you are lucky to be with us. There are a lot of sites on the Internet that offer under the guise of legal windows image 10 with all sorts of surprises inside. We will not deceive you, but honestly tell you about how to get a truly original "top ten" x64 or x32 (32- or 64-bit versions). Don't believe me? You are doing exactly right! Do not take anyone's word for world wide web... Just read on and you will see for yourself that the proposed way to download free Russian Windows 10 is absolutely official.

Generally, popularity pirated versions Windows OS, which still exists today, is already an anachronism, but it is understandable. The fact is that before the appearance of the "ten" it was not possible to download a completely official image of the operating system from Microsoft from its official website. To do this, you definitely needed keys, and not just any activation keys, but certainly from a boxed (non-OEM) version of Windows. For example, for a factory-preinstalled "seven", a way to download its original image from the official Microsoft website was ordered. Of course, people looked for ways to get around these restrictions and downloaded for free from third-party sites. Lost a disk with a "seven"? Download from torrents.

The fundamental difference between Windows 10 and all previous versions of this operating system is that now absolutely anyone can download it for free and legally. This is a completely official policy. Microsoft Corporation... And it's very strange that people are still looking for legal OS images on third-party resources, in particular, torrents.

Of course, Windows 10 is by no means free for users. No. On the official site operating system posted for those who want to use it legally. As before, you need a key to activate it. But in this case, Microsoft made significant concessions for users of the non-activated versions of the Tens:

1. First, install original Windows 10 image, including in Russian, now you can without any key, as well as download. To do this, during the installation process, select the item "I do not have a key". Thus, everyone can "try" the OS in operation before purchasing it, and for an unlimited amount of time.
2. Secondly, if previously unactivated Windows version 7 or 8 forcibly rebooted, but now this is not.
3. Thirdly, even an unactivated Windows 10 will receive all the latest updates.

Of course, it would be foolish to hope that Microsoft will not have a fly in the ointment in this barrel of honey. But, in our opinion, the limitations are not very significant: for the non-activated version of the "ten" in Russian (and not only), a translucent and barely visible inscription appears in the lower right corner " Windows activation". Also to the owners of the original, but not having Windows key 10 will have to come to terms with the fact that they will not be able to customize the personalization settings for themselves: the design of the Taskbar, color scheme... We do not think that these problems will be significant for most people. Moreover, for their solution there are workarounds that do not pose a threat to the computer at all. About them at the end of the article.

Let's add that the license binding is now happening in a different way. If your computer has already been installed original Windows 10, then you no longer need the key even with a complete clean reinstallation. Activation is now tied not to a specific installation, but to hardware - the motherboard and, possibly, the computer's processor. It is not required to enter the key.

Where to download the original (official) Windows 10 for free

Let's return now to the issue of trust. As we have already said, unlike other sites, a completely legal way is described on our Internet resource get the original Windows 10 image for free in Russian... The proof of this is the name of the site itself, from which we propose to download the OS for you - this is official Russian-language portal of the Microsoft company.

So to free download Windows 10, you need to go to this page microsoft.com... You can verify that this is indeed the official website of the company, for example, on Wikipedia. V address bar You can see that the site is reliable, that is, the connection to it is via a secure channel.

If you just want to upgrade your computer operating system to Windows 10, you can select the "Update Now" button. You will be prompted to download a special software tool that will upgrade your OS. This method should be used by owners of licensed versions of Windows 7 or 8. For some strange reason, Microsoft still gives free upgrades from them to a licensed version of Windows 10 (although they promised to cover this program back in July 2016).

If you have an unactivated operating system or you want to install the "top ten", then you should select the item " Download the tool now ". In this case, you will be prompted to download the MediaCreationTool program, with which you can create a bootable USB flash drive or disc with the official Windows 10 in Russian, as well as simply download the image of the original "dozen" to your computer. Both x32 and x64 versions are available.

For more information on how to create Windows 10 installation media using MediaCreationTool, see our article "How to reinstall Windows 10" step by step.

Why download Windows 10 only from the official website

Let's move on to the seemingly obvious question of why you need to download the original top ten exclusively on the official Microsoft website. Of course, we do not want to impose anything on anyone. But we want to warn you about the need to be careful on the Internet. Unfortunately, if some Internet resources say what they offer download the official Russian Windows 10 for free, then this does not mean at all that they need to be trusted. The same goes for the other software... The fact is that on third-party resources, significant changes can be made to the image of the operating system or programs, and, of course, including malicious ones.

It is for the same reasons that we do not recommend using activators for Windows 10. They can damage the integrity of the OS and threaten the security of your computer. If you do not have a license, then it would be much more correct to simply use a free non-activated Windows 10. We will talk about this in a little more detail below.

Is it possible to use the original Windows 10 without activation officially

As we mentioned in this article, unactivated but legal Windows 10 quite suitable for daily use. Unlike previous versions, it does NOT reboot by itself in protest against its own unlicensedness and does NOT block the update center. You can use this version of the operating system for as long as you like. It won't do much harm, apart from the two small functionality limitations already mentioned above. Let's recall them:

• The original, but unactivated version of the Tens has a translucent Windows Activation watermark. It may not appear immediately, but 3-4 hours after the reboot. Of course, it will annoy someone, but, in our opinion, it does not look intrusive.
• The counterfeit version of Windows 10 does not allow customization of Personalization.

In addition, both of these functionality limitations are rather arbitrary. And in fact, and in another case, there are workarounds, which, without any threat to the security of the computer and without installing suspicious third-party programs will help to at least partially remove the restrictions. You can read about them in our articles "Personalization in non-activated Windows 10" and "How to remove the watermark Activating Windows 10" (this article is still in the process of writing).

If you are installing the system on a new hard drive that has not yet been partitioned, then allocate at least 50 GB for the system (preferably more).
