I recently asked if MAS was save to activate windows, it turns out it was as I hoped.

However, I’ve one last doubt: I downloaded the iso from MASSGRAVE (it-it_windows_10_consumer_editions_version_22h2_updated_may_2024_x64_dvd_49ddadb6.iso) and I installed that already.

Also, I logged in my accounts and used sensible passwords already, should I be worried about this? (I ask because some pirates said the ISO should have been downloaded from Microsoft website :/ ).

Please let me know your opinions

    You can always download the ISO from Microsoft’s site. Just spoof your User Agent’s OS to Linux and it will automatically redirect you to a Windows ISO download page.

        Specifically the OS download links. If you’re running Windows, it’ll link you into the media creation tool instead however since this tool is a Windows Executable it’ll not work on Linux by default, so they link to ISO files instead.

      Unless you compare the checksum is a match from the ones from Microsoft.

          There are legitimate versions of windows that are hard to get as a non enterprise consumer. Such as some of the IOT versions that have much longer security support.

          I still can’t understand how to download the ISO, all I can do is downloading a tool to create a ISO… I’d like to download the sama exact win10 Italian version in order to compare checksum, since I’ve done a lot of setup already on the laptop

            One way to get there might be to hash the iso and then search that hash to see if you find someone referencing it for the official image.

    You can check the md5 hash checksum provided by Microsoft to verify the authenticity. Massgrave gets it from Microsoft, it’s a legit ISO just rehosted.

        Did you check the md5? If they were different, it could be anything (it doesn’t imply modifications from massgrave either)

        As for logic, bad actors would do anything. Even hijacking a server and replacing the ISOs of other hackers, or infiltrate the group and do so.
