Fido is a PowerShell script that automates fetching official Microsoft Windows retail ISO download links and bootable UEFI Shell images. It is primarily used by Rufus but can also run standalone with a text UI.
Use cases
- download official Windows 11 retail ISO
- get direct Windows ISO download links without the Media Creation Tool
- download a bootable UEFI Shell ISO
- verify Windows ISO integrity via official retail SHA-1
- script Windows ISO downloads for Rufus
When to choose
- you need verifiable retail Windows ISOs rather than MCT-generated ones
- you want to automate ISO downloads on Windows
- you need UEFI Shell boot images
When to avoid
- you are on Linux or macOS without PowerShell
- you want MCT-style upgraded install media
- you need non-Windows operating system ISOs
