The media tool will do a fresh install of windows 10. But if someone only wants to upgrade windows 7 to windows 10, does it do it?

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.

 

Problems upgrading to Windows 10 with the Media Creation Tool.

Hi Abel,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am sorry to know that you are facing issues with Windows 10.

I do appreciate your efforts and time, and will assist you with the issue.

To guide you in the right direction, I need more information from the computer by answering the following questions:

• 
  What is the make and model of your computer?
  
• 
  Which operating system are you currently running on your computer?
  

• 
  Is you’re your anti-virus utility software disabled?
  

Your reply is very important for us to ensure a proper resolution.

Meanwhile I suggest you to try the steps provided below and
check if it helps.

Method 1

Perform a clean boot.

A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows
10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista. You may also troubleshoot or determine what conflict is causing the problem by performing a clean boot.

Clean Boot:


Notes

• 
  You must log on to the computer as an administrator to be able to perform a clean boot.
  
• 
  Your computer may temporarily lose some functionality when you perform a clean boot. When you start the computer normally, the functionality returns. However, you may receive the original error message, or
  experience the original behavior if the problem still exists.
  
• 
  If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps. We strongly recommend that you do not use the System Configuration utility to change the advanced
  boot options on the computer unless a Microsoft support engineer directs you to do this. Doing this may make the computer unusable.
  

I suggest you to try the steps provided in the link below, in order to perform a clean boot on your computer.
