The reason im not downloading Windows 10 directly onto the steam machine is because it runs off steamOS (Linux Based). I would much rather duel boot than risk messing something up. The windows 10 ISO file im downloading without the Media Creation Tool is called Win10_1511_1_English_x64.iso.

Hereby, providing you the direct download link or option to download Windows 10 Pro (Windows 10 Version 1511 – November Update).This is an ISO image and will contain 3.5 GB of space.

Technical Level : BasicSummary
The primary method of delivery for Windows 10 will be through Windows Update. Microsoft also provides ISO media, but if you are are already downloading Windows 10 through Windows Update, why not create your own? This is convenient for reinstall purposes especially if you need to perform a repair upgrade. Windows 10 already provides a recovery drive and reset pc functions, but these are limited by clean installs. Creating a ISO from the same PC you upgraded is also convenient if you have a second computer running a qualifying previous version of Windows you would like to upgrade, so it significantly saves on banwidth.
Details
Please note, if you plan to use this same ISO image to install or upgrade another computer, it must be running the same edition or at least have a product key that can activate it.
After downloading Windows 10 through Windows Update, a copy of the installation file called a Install.esd (Electronic Software Delivery) is created in the folder C:$Windows.~BTSources

For UEFI based systems
If your computer is UEFI based, these are normally systems that come pre-loaded with Windows 8 or later, you will need to prepare the ISO file for such a configuration or you will receive an error message during setup. The thumbdrive needs to be formatted as FAT32 and use the GPT partitioning scheme. To do this, you need to use Rufus, a small tool you can download for free.
