    Your USB thumb drive needs to be at least 8 GBs.

    The error code 0x80070079-0xA001A means that the tool doesn't have permission for it to run. For us to assist you, we suggest that you
    follow the simple steps listed below:


    • Right-click on the Media Creation Tool.exe.

    • Press Properties.

    • Click on General.

    • At the bottom, click on Unblock.

    • Press Apply, and then OK.
    Let us know how it goes and if you need further assistance, feel free to post back.



    You can also download the ISO first using the Media Creation Tool, then create a bootable copy. Yes, you can use it to perform clean install.

    If Windows 10 was already installed and activated on your system, just proceed to perform a direct clean install as described in the following articles.

    Windows Media Creation Tool Error

    I'm trying to install Windows 10 Media Creation Tool onto my 16GB flash drive. The download finishes and it moves onto the step of verifying the download. At around the 60% mark it pops up with an error message saying

    "There was a problem running this tool

    We are not sure what happened but we are unable to run this tool on your pc, if you continue experiencing problems reference the error code when contacting customer support 0x800701B1 - 0xA001B"

    I've ran the media creation tool 3 times now and the same error message pops up.
