Dell Windows 10 Recovery Image download crashing/failing

Hi, I'm having problems downloading the Windows 10 recovery image file. It has crashed at just over 4gb both times I've tried to download it. The file size is 5.61gb and it seems to be failing at the exact same point in the download each time. Can anyone help?

The Dell Windows 10 Recovery .iso is just a larger multi-lingual Windows 10 .iso often of an older build. There are no additional drivers over the regular Windows 10 .iso. You are best to use the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool from Microsoft which downloads the setup files, checks them and then creates the .iso overcoming the issues with direct download links and unstable connections. Microsoft's Windows 10 Installation Media may be of a later build. See here for more details:

Minimum System HW Requirements and Windows Platforms Compatible” (PPTX) information required to download Windows 10 both desktop and mobile. It discloses everything you need to know, but screen size, memory, storage, graphics, and firmware are all shown.

Thank you! I managed to download the Windows Media 10 creation tool from the link provided and reinstalled Windows 10 onto my laptop. My laptop is back in perfect working order after it crashed midway through a reset and was failing to boot into Windows 10. Thanks again for your help!
