    Doing a new Clean install..


    I'm about to do a clean install of Win10 again once I get my new SSD in the mail. I already have a image of the installation on a DVD from back when Win10 was just being available. Should I make an updated image from the media creation tool or is my old image ok to use?

    Thanks!

    :)

    The one you have is an old version, probably version 10240.
    The following Media Creation Tool will give you the current version 10586.
