|

Fido is a PowerShell script that is primarily designed to be used in [Rufus](https://github.com/pbatard/rufus), but that

can also be used in standalone fashion, and whose purpose is to automate access to the official Microsoft Windows retail

ISO download links.

ISO download links as well as provide convenient access to [bootable UEFI Shell images](https://github.com/pbatard/UEFI-Shell).

This script exists because, while Microsoft does make retail ISO download links freely and publicly available (at least
|
||||
for Windows 8 and Windows 10), it only does so after actively forcing users to jump through a lot of unwarranted hoops,

that create an exceedingly counterproductive, if not downright unfriendly, consumer experience and that greatly detract

Commandline mode
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
Fido supports commandline mode whereas, whenever one of the following options is provided, a GUI is not instantiated
|
||||
and you can instead generate the ISO download from within a PowerShell console or script.
|
||||
|
||||
The options are:
|
||||
- `Win`: Specify Windows version (e.g. _"Windows 10"_). Abbreviated version should work as well (e.g `-Win 10`) as long
|
||||
as it is unique enough. If this option isn't specified, the most recent version of Windows is automatically selected.
|
||||
You can obtain a list of supported versions by specifying `-Win List`.
|
||||
- `Rel`: Specify Windows release (e.g. _"21H1"_). If this option isn't specified, the most recent release for the chosen
|
||||
version of Windows is automatically selected. You can also use `-Rel Latest` to force the most recent to be used.
|
||||
You can obtain a list of supported versions by specifying `-Rel List`.
|
||||
- `Ed`: Specify Windows edition (e.g. _"Pro/Home"_). Abbreviated editions should work as well (e.g `-Ed Pro`) as long
|
||||
as it is unique enough. If this option isn't specified, the most recent version of Windows is automatically selected.
|
||||
You can obtain a list of supported versions by specifying `-Ed List`.
|
||||
- `Lang`: Specify Windows language (e.g. _"Arabic"_). Abbreviated or part of a language (e.g. `-Lang Int` for
|
||||
`English International`) should work as long as it's unique enough. If this option isn't specified, the script attempts
|
||||
to select the same language as the system locale.
|
||||
You can obtain a list of supported languages by specifying `-Lang List`.
|
||||
- `Arch`: Specify Windows architecture (e.g. _"x64"_). If this option isn't specified, the script attempts to use the same
|
||||
architecture as the one from the current system.
|
||||
- `GetUrl`: By default, the script attempts to automatically launch the download. But when using the `-GetUrl` switch,
|
||||
the script only displays the download URL, which can then be piped into another command or into a file.
|
||||
- `DisableProgress`: Disable progress report. This may speed up downloads when using the command line.

||||

||||
