How to perform a clean Microsoft Windows installation for your nonprofit or library with downloaded ISO files?
TechSoup encourages you to download the installation software for your Microsoft Software Donation Program donations instead of having discs sent to you.
So you download the software from Microsoft's Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) and find out that it arrives as an ISO file and you need to perform additional steps before you can use that file for installation.
