    I looked on archive.org, they have a bunch of free retro software. They have about 750,000 retro software programs in their library.

    Really cool (and huge) collection!

    Wondering, though, how Microsoft can allow ISOs of Windows 10 to be published there?

    You're right -- they need an activation key. :)

    You can (or at least I know you could as of a year ago) download the ISOs from MS as well. It's the activation license that costs the money.

    Still can. I downloaded 21H1 just last week, as I needed to get around a couple of pc's going around and around in doing the update and
    getting stuck.

    Mount the ISO, click on setup and let it do it's thing. Could have also booted from it, but then it would have wanted to wipe everything.
