Microsoft provides two primary methods for offline deployment depending on your specific needs: 1. Evergreen Standalone Installer (Recommended)
| | Cons | | :--- | :--- | | No Internet Required: Installs completely offline. | Large File Size: ~130MB compared to the ~2MB online bootstrapper. | | Enterprise Ready: Supports silent command-line switches. | Manual Updates: Unlike the "Evergreen" online mode which auto-updates in the background, you must manually download the latest offline installer to update machines in the future. | | Deployment Friendly: Perfect for SCCM/Intune distribution. | Confusing UI: Microsoft hides the direct link behind a "Get the link" button, confusing many users. |
Select the "Evergreen Standalone Installer" for your architecture (x86, x64, or ARM64).
