Potabi Systems Development | ISSUE #4 - The Bootloader
The image above represents an error I ran into while building Potabi on Sept-9, 2021. The build is currently supposed to be using the RE Base release b_1.0a-base, the files of which are listed below. For testing purposes, I grabbed the RE Base b_1.0a-base disc1.iso file, as listed in the release. I ran it in QEMU on my personal machine, where the difference in bases between here and on the FreeBSD virtual machine being used for builds should be non-existent. Since I am coming back into development a month after I last did anything, I cannot say with any certainty that this will provide anything useful, but on The Potabi Foundation YouTube Channel, I uploaded a timelapse of this build for fun, not even trying to use it to help debug anything. It shows no issue, as far as I can tell.

How to download the ISO Windows 10 directly?
fido is what it uses, and can be run on its own, to download any 10 or 11 iso.

You can download Windows 10 images from Rufus, where do these images come from?
For reference, the script that Rufus uses to download these ISOs is of course public, and if you have any doubts as to what it might be doing, you can check its source to confirm that it is doing exactly what it says on the tin, which is download unmodified retail Windows ISOs straight from the Microsoft servers.

Rufus has stopped supporting Windows 7
Just to add a small correction here: it was. But Microsoft's strengthening of who could access their downloads in January this year means that it's become a major headache (i.e. time sink) to try to fix it so that it works on Windows 7. Which means that, no matter what version of Rufus you're using, and because this is actually a remote script that is being downloaded and executed by Rufus, ISO downloads have already been disabled on Windows 7 on account that if you run the script, it will just prompt you that it is not compatible with Windows 7 and exit.

Request : Looking for a script that gets the Windows 10 ISO Download Url
Online, there is a similar script , albeit more complex that provide loads of options ... That one doesn't work on my first try I don't have the heart to dig in at the moment that's why I poke the community. If I don't get the anwsers I need I will fix it myself, but at the moment, maybe someone has what Im looking for

Any way to still download the first release of windows 11?(11 sept 2021)
the developer of rufus also releases the powershell script rufus uses to download windows from microsoft separately, so you don't have to run the entire program if you just want to download isos

Get W10 21h2 iso
The thing is that, even if https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download does not provide you with a link to access old Windows 10 ISOs, theses ISOs are still being provided by Microsoft if you know how to query its servers. And Rufus uses a 100% Open Source script (called Fido) to do just that.
