Hi @Tarpan-Shah
For lab instructions, course materials, etc. for a particular course, you just need to look at the top right of the individual course dashboard. Like what I'm showing here for PentTest+.
Within the Practice Labs interfaces, the images should be included when you fire up the individual labs. If you still need some assistance, feel free to use the Chat bubble in the ITPro interface to speak with Member services. Hope that helps!

@Tarpan-Shah,
There are no specific image files for pen-testing until itself. You might see if there are evaluation editions of Windows Images from Microsoft that you can download and try and do pentesting on those. But there are no Windows Images I know designed specifically for pentesting. -
Hey @Tarpan-Shah
Ronnie is spot on! The good news is that by building your own lab and making it vulnerable, you will have a TON of hands-on experience with deploying Windows Desktops, Servers, Active Directory, and probably a bunch of other MS technologies like IIS, Group Policy, WSUS, and MSSQL. This is the ideal route! You'll learn what causes vulnerabilities as well as how to pentest for them.
All that said, creating users, groups, and other AD objects can be a bit time consuming, so check out this script which will auto-create those object for you.

I hope that helps you out.
