Windows 10 Pro with Office 2021
Version 22H2 Build 19045 · Microsoft Corporation · x64 bootable ISO · ranked #80 in the library
A single installation image that lays down the professional edition of the system and the current perpetual office suite together, both already activated, so a fresh machine comes up ready to work rather than needing a second install afterwards.
Read the installation section below before you start. The order of the steps matters on this release.
About this release
Overview
This image installs two things in one pass: the professional edition of the desktop system, and the current perpetual office suite, both preactivated. The point is a machine that is ready to use straight after setup. Instead of installing the system, booting it, then downloading and installing office separately, you write one image, install once, and the applications are already there and licensed on first boot.
The system half is the standard professional edition media, with BitLocker, group policy, remote desktop hosting, Hyper-V and domain join all present, and the professional feature set is what makes the machine manageable rather than merely usable. The office half is the full professional line-up, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access, Publisher and OneNote, with the modern Excel function set and the install once behaviour of a perpetual licence.
Every interface language is in the image, picked at the first setup screen, so one download covers a whole office. It boots on both UEFI and legacy systems and includes the standard recovery environment. Both the system and the office suite are activated in the image, so there is no separate step and nothing to run afterwards.

Changed in this build
Version 22H2 Build 19045
- Servicing updates integrated so a fresh install starts close to current.
- Office activation folded into the image alongside the system activation.
- Updated storage and network drivers slipstreamed for recent chipsets.
- Recovery environment refreshed alongside the main image.
- Reduced image size after cleaning superseded component store entries.
Installation
Follow these in order
- Back up everything on the target machine first. A clean install erases the system drive.
- Write the ISO to a USB stick of 16 GB or larger.
- Boot from the stick through the firmware boot menu.
- Choose your language and keyboard, then select custom install.
- Delete the old system partitions for a clean install, then continue into the unallocated space.
- At the out of box setup, choose the offline account option, and office will already be installed and activated.
Release notes
From whoever packed it
- Verify the checksum before writing. A truncated download of an image this size fails partway through setup.
- Stay offline through first boot so setup does not force an online account.
- Both the system and office are activated in the image. Leave feature updates deferred so the state is not reset.
