Attempting to get an ISO usually needs admin privileges. Since your account is admin, you can proceed directly. If you're having trouble finding a reliable source, look for trusted websites or community forums that share download links. Make sure to verify the source before downloading.

It's true, I don't really like Windows 10. I had to switch to it in 2022, but my old computer still runs Windows 7, which feels like a time capsule. It's so much smoother and faster. I really miss it.
