Windows 10: I have the media creation tool and Win10_1903_V1_English_x64.iso ; Now what?

I just bought a SanDisk 64 GB flash drive so I know I got plenty of space to make a OS boot USB drive.


When I run the media creation tool it wants to download the Windows from the Internet but I already have the file downloaded. How do I specifiy to use the Win10_1903_V1_English_x64.iso file instead of downloading from the internet. By the way, my local Walmart only sells single layer DVD recordable discs. With the file you get when you use an alternate operating system or browser to get it, the file is slightly larger than a single layer DVD-R disc.


Anyways how do I make a USB bootable flash drive of the Win10_1903_V1_English_x64.iso file?


Thanks if anyone can help!

Media Creation Tool question


Thanks Cerberus but Ive no problem downloading the Iso with the media creation tool. I don't think its the ISO that is the problem' I think the problem is when the Media Creation Tool is creating the bootable USB flash drive. So I think I can use the Media Creation Tool for that part...and as you say try something like Rufus to create the bootable USB flash drive

I still have this question though "The tutorial here says after going to the Microsoft site and selecting the Download Tool (Media Creation Tool) option that the Media Creation Tool should be save to the PC and run from there.
On Microsoft site the instructions are to Download the Tool and select Run (no saving to the PC). Is there a reason for saving it to the PC first as suggested on Tenforums?"

I was curious to see if others had encountered the issue I had with the Media Creation Tool. Ive never had a problem using it before

Just mount iso as a drive and run setup.exe - most reliable method.
