    Couln't open media creation tool


    I want to upgrade my window 7 to window 10. Downloaded the windows 10 installation media from this link https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 , but it is not working! I couldn't open the file after it downloaded. I tried many different ways such as run as administrator and run in compatibility mode but none of this is working! I got the product key for window 10 already and I really need this to be done. Any help? What should I do?

    :)

    Hello,

    The Windows Media Creation Tool allows you to download the Windows 10 ISO directly from Microsoft, without having a product key. You can use it to clean install or upgrade to Windows 10. It can also be use to download the different editions of Windows 10.
    Refer to this
    link
    to download the Windows 10 Installation Media Tool.

    As for the build and version of your Windows 10, follow the steps below:


    • Press Windows key + R on your keyboard to open up the run command prompt.
    • Type winver into the run command text box and hit OK. You should now see a dialog screen revealing the OS build and registration information.

    Should you need additional assistance, do let us know.
