Windows 10: I used the windows media Creation tool to reset my Lenovo Thinkpad laptop and Windows 10...

I used the windows media Creation tool to reset my Lenovo Thinkpad laptop and Windows 10 Enterprise is still my OS. I know these Laptops were changed to Enterprise in the work environment and Win 10 Pro SHOULD be on the motherboard. Is there a way to tell?

Windows 10 USB boot

Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

There is three options:
Windows 10
Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 N

Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

 

Windows 10 using the media creation tool???

Is it just me being stupid or... well... I downloaded a Windows 10 media creation tool from

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

When I run it, it gives me an option to create Win 8 media only?? There is NO windows 10 on the list

Tested it on one PC and two laptops :| All genuine copies of Windows (2x Win 8.1, one Win7)

 

Using media creation tool on Windows 10

HI!

Is it possible to use the media creation tool a system running Windows 10 Home 32 bit, to create an ISO for a different version of Windows 10. Lets say Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. So it can be used to upgrade free a qualified version of Windows. Or maybe even
use the media to do clean install on a system that is already running a free upgrade.

The Windows 10 upgrade page states:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

• We recommend using the media creation tool on a PC running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. If you run this tool on a PC running Windows 10, it can overwrite temporary files that are needed if you ever want to go back to your previous operating system.

What effect will it have on the system running Windows 10 Home 32 bit?
