If you’re trying to install Windows on Mac without a CD/DVD drive, you’ll need to download a Windows ISO image. Microsoft has finally standardized the process for this making it very easy to download an ISO for Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. Previously, you had to download Windows ISOs unofficially via Digital River but you can now download them directly via Microsoft’s new Microsoft Software Recovery site. You will need to have already purchased a copy of Windows of course because Microsoft Software Recovery requests your Windows Product Key before you can download the ISO.
The process for downloading a Windows ISO is the same whether you need an ISO to use for installing Windows on your Mac or if you just want to repair a version of Windows on a PC by creating a Windows DVD or a bootable USB version of Windows.
You will need to have already purchased a copy of Windows before you can do this and have the Windows Product Key ready. If you purchase Windows online, you should receive the Product Key immediately via email so you don’t have to wait to for it to physically arrive in the post before you can do this.
