    Media Creation Tool, creating a USB installation medium


    <p>I find it unbelievable that this tool simply removes any already set up partition(s) from a USB Stick.</p><p>There is not even a warning that any information stored on the stick's partition(s) (even the ones not needed by the tool) will be lost after using the tool.<br /></p><p>This sort of deliberate ignorance is shocking and you guys should be ashamed for this.</p><p>Quite frankly I am surprised no USA citizen has brought this to court.</p><p></p><p>Make sure to shape up, adjust this tool so that it does not mess up partition info. It is simple : if I select a USB Partition too small to use, simly dont put the installation there. If I select one that is suitable, simply use it. No need to mess around with the partitions at all.</p><p></p><p></p>

    How to create an UNACTIVATED Windows 10 installation USB flash drive using the new Media Creation Tool v1803??

    I want to note also that the Media Creation Tool didn't give me the option to select the Edition of Windows 10 at the step you can choose the Language, Edition and Architecture. The only thing that was in the list was only the "Windows 10" option, not other
    editions...

    So, is this a BUG of Media Creation Tool or I have misunderstood something? Is this reasonable?

    Also is it reasonable when you install Windows (by USB Flsah drive created with Media Creation Tool) to be activated on its own after installation finishes??
