=== Google Drive ===
Google Drive is an extremely active cloud storage provider with thousands if not millions of files hosted. Sometimes (rarely) some blogs giving download links may point to Google Drive.
 
=== Internet Archive ===
Internet Archive, AKA archive.org is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the internet since 1996. While it is not really used for archival anymore (rather a place for children to drop their vista recolours), you can find some interesting ISOs there. We usually don't accept these,most soof trythe ISOs found on here, due to usethe somemajority of them including but not limited to Windows Never Released projects and small ISOs ("lite" ISOs), therefore it is very common for people (the abovemajority websitesof which, are children) to upload their Windows Vista recolours/theme.
 
==== Notes ====▼
* As of May 26th, 2023, archive.org hosts all three banned ISOs. (Windows CTAC<ref>https://archive.org/details/WindowsCTAC</ref>, ChaineseOS<ref>https://archive.org/details/chainese-os</ref>, Windows Komichi Edition 2019<ref>https://archive.org/details/windowskomichiedition-2019</ref>). '''Do not submit these ISOs to us. The request will be rejected'''
* Archive.org is known to have re-uploads of the collection or a certain ISO in the collection. While this is great (incase Microsoft sees this website, and they have before) please make sure that said reuploads have some ISOs that aren't in the collection if you plan to submit them to us (as some already do, such as [https://archive.org/details/windowsbootlegs this one])
 
=== MEGA ===
MEGA is free to download from and semi-common for bootlegs, however it has a 5GB/day download limit. To get around this you can use [https://github.com/tonikelope/megabasterd megabasterd]. However, MEGA is known to remove Windows ISOs and take the account that uploaded it along with it.
 
▲==== NotesTeamOS ====
While this is not really a file host, rather a forum, it is a place for people to share Windows ISOs, the some of which are crusty bootlegs. It has been active since 2014. Most of the bootlegs, and the isos entirely, are distributed via torrent. TeamOS has a system called "hit and run", where if your torrent client starts downloading (a "hit") and immediately stops seeding after a successful download (a "run") you get a "hit and run". Too many hit and runs disables your account's ability to download torrents.
