Microsoft is getting rid of all the Trouble Shooting tools

Hello Vernia,

As part of the deprecation of Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool (MSDT) and MSDT Troubleshooters, Microsoft has begun redirecting some of the troubleshooters found under Settings > System > Troubleshoot and in other areas of the OS to the new Get Help app troubleshooting platform.

However, you can still open some of the troubleshooters using an option in the tutorial below for now.

Run Troubleshooters in Windows 11

 

MSDT pass key

Hi,

You actually do not require the MSDT pass key to upgrade to Windows 10.

MSDT pass key is only required to run the tool and collect logs from your PC.

The Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool also gathers diagnostic information, such as system information, registry settings, files, and similar data from your computer and uploads this information to the support engineer over a secure channel. This information
can be used to diagnose the problem that you are having on your computer. To gather this system information, the Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool downloads tools onto your computer if they do not already exist.

This control is designed to enhance your support experience. When you are prompted, accept the controls download to improve your experience.

I suggest you to refer to the link below and download Windows 10. Create a media creation tool and continue with the installation. Refer to the instructions on the same page before you begin.

Download Windows 10
