To get a standard WIndows 10 or Windows 11 ISO is easy. For a latest public release ISO, just go to official Microsoft ISO download site, and download an ISO as told in this tutorial on our sister site Ten Forums:
https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/9230-download-windows-10-iso-file.html
To get a Windows Insider ISO, see our Eleven Forum tutorial:
https://www.elevenforum.com/t/uup-dump-download-windows-insider-iso.344/
But, what to do if you want to modify your ISO? Add files, make installation unattended, add drivers, and so on. OK, many even quite senior geeks suggest you can use this or that third party tool to "burn" an ISO.

This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable Dynamic Refresh Rate (DRR) for a display for all users in Windows 11.
The refresh rate is the number of frames per second your monitor can display. Hertz frequency is used as the measurement at which the screen is redrawn.
Dynamic refresh rate is a new feature that can be found in Windows 11 on supported devices. Like the name suggests, DRR lets your device set the refresh rate dynamically. This means that Windows 11 will seamlessly switch between a lower refresh rate and a higher refresh rate based on what you’re doing on your PC. This helps to balance performance and power consumption. For example, with a Dynamic (60 Hz or 120 Hz) mode, your display will refresh at 60 Hz for...
