Error trying to download Windows 11 ISO

I have a Framework laptop that originally came with Windows 11 installed. I added a dual-boot Linux partition since I use both operating systems. My hard drive recently died and I had to replace it, so to get something running quickly, I simply installed Ubuntu Linux on it. Now I would like to add Windows as a dual-boot option again. I have instructions on how to do this, but the first step is to download a Windows 11 ISO, but when I try to download it, I get the following error:

Error

I've tried this multiple times and keep getting the same error. Is something down? Is there another way to get a Windows 11 ISO?

Thanks,

Mike Bopf

Hello, good day!

This usually happens temporarily and can be caused by a variety of factors, including potential issues with your internet service provider (ISP) or if you have a VPN installed.

Can you try using InPrivate/Incognito or a different browser?

If you still can't download the ISO, let me know what language you need it in, and I'll provide you a direct link.

I look forward to your update and am willing to collaborate with you until we resolve the issue. Keep me posted by clicking "Add comment" below.
