      To be a bit more direct, you shouldn’t download “pre-cracked” isos. Just download the real install media and use mas-grave to spoof activation/licensing.

        Yes but enterprise LTSC (and others) isos can be harder to obtain legally.

        Massgrave has mirrors of retail and OEM isos, and the other site I provided has checksums to verify their integrity.
