  1. creating windows 10 media creation tool


    Hello


    I want to create a windows 10 media creation tool on to a USB flash drive. When I got my PC windows 10 was digitally installed and verified. However, I did get the windows 10 home installation DVD with my new PC but the new PC has no CD/DVD drive installed.


    I pretty much understand how to create the tool but my issue is the version/build of windows 10 home x64 I have doesn't match the one I downloaded to create the tool. The download version is 1809 while my installed version is 1803. The instructions on the Microsoft website to create the media states that I must have the same version as the build installed to my PC.


    Finally, my question is how can I create the tool for my build of Windows Home 10 x64 if the version to download doesn't match my installed version 1803?


    I do have another PC with a CD/DVD player/burner is it possible to copy the windows home 10 install DVD to a USB flash drive?


    Many thanks

    :)

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I would suggest you to provide some information to help you better


    • Are you using Internet Explorer to download the files?

    • Are you using a wired net connection or wireless net connection?
    You can use the media creation tool to upgrade your current PC to
    Windows 10 or to create a USB or DVD and install Windows 10 on a different PC.

    Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool:

    Alternatively, you can also use another pc to download the files.

    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
