Have you ever tried to find ISO images of previous versions of Microsoft Windows operating system? It is a bit difficult to download files from official sources.
Microsoft allows users who want ISOs to use the Media Creation Tool, instead of providing download links that lead directly to the files.
If you want to download ISO, but from an official source, Microsoft's website provides direct downloads for all Windows 10 ISO images, but does not offer links for older operating systems.
Let's see what we can do:
If you look at the Microsoft page's source code (right‑click with your mouse and View Source) you will notice references to Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
Ok, let's download the files:
Open the Microsoft page in a browser that supports Developer Tools and has a console (Firefox or Chrome).
If you are using Google Chrome, press Ctrl-Shift-J, and in Firefox, press Ctrl-Shift-K to open the console.
Copy and paste the code below. Press enter and take a look at the page.
The image below shows where you need to paste the code (red box) into the Firefox console. (click to enlarge).
It should be noted that if you have never used the console before, you will need to type “allow pasting” to unlock the feature.
All the files are there, in any language you want. Download and save the files you are interested in before the company closes the hole.
Windows 10 Enterprise is not present on the page.

Update for smart comments like: “I can't find Windows 1” or “I can't find Windows XP”, look for the ISOs at your local pirate shop. The post contains the images supported by Microsoft.
