Windows 10: Media Creation Tool did not generate current ISO win 10 version

Yesterday I decided to download WIN 10 Pro 64 bit with the media creation tool to generate an ISO file as I needed to do a fresh install on several machines. I had assumed that I would get the current 1511 version but I got the previous 10240 version . Now I know that MS pulled this November update after a dew days of release but then re-instated again on the 24th Nov.
My broadband speed is "pathetic" so I had to download the 1511 upgrade once the initial installation was finished. This meant 18 hours had to elapse and I will still have to download the TH2 upgrade on every machine---no thanks---will stick with Win 7 !

Anyone get any idea why I got the old version of Win 10 ?

Free Upgrade windows 8.1 pro to win10 by ISO (DOWNLOADED THROUGH MEDIA CREATION TOOL)

Windows 10 Anniversary Failure 80070005

All,

I have tried everything in my ability to update from windows 10 version 1511 build 10586.589 to Win 10 Anniversary. I am receiving the permission driven 8007005 error when I attempt to update using the onboard windows update tool. That is where the 80070005
is thrown. Multiple attempts while the using the Microsoft Media Creation Tool all fail in different stages. At least 15 tries.

I have googled my brain out to no avail. Running the subinacl process does nothing. clean boot=no results. uninstall video drivers=no results. Nothing seems to work. My machine is a highly capable dell desktop with 16 gig ram and over 700Gig of ssd drive
space. Machine was purchased in 2015 originally with Win 7 Pro and upgraded in place to current version of Win 10. Please believe that I have tried almost everything that an average hack is capable of.

I did find a tool, Microsoft ISO Downloader Pro v1.4, that claims to direct you to an official Microsoft site where OEM ISO's can be downloaded. With this tool I downloaded the supposed latest version of Win 10 but I am too suspicious to attempt to use it.
Does anyone know it this is a reputable tool? Seems too good to be true.

So my main question: Is there an official Microsoft site where I can directly download the Win 10 anniversary ISO Not using the Media Creation Tool. Please remember, as mentioned above the Media Creation Tool never finished or actually downloads an ISO.
I am simply looking for a way to get the correct ISO without using the Media Creation Tool.

Thank you for your time.

 

In future you could try the Microsoft Tech Bench link:

Thanks for that---am now downloading the 1511 version ( I hope). Just another 5 hours to go !!!!

 

Did you download a new version of the Media Creation Tool or by any chance use an old version you had hanging around? Perhaps the old version downloads the old ISO. It is only a guess as MCT downloaded 1511 for me several times since December...

 

That is hard to believe.
MCT will only give you the most current version of Windows 10.

 

OP probably used an older version of MCT. If you hover cursor over mediacreationtool.exe in file explorer, the popup screen either says 10240 or 10586.

Does that sound like he was using an old version of MCT from his own file explorer ?
Where can one download an old version if it was done "yesterday " ?

 

@davidhk, please use the "Reply With Quote" button so it is clearer who you are replying to and they get notified.

Assuming you are replying to me, sure, perhaps you can. You can download the MediaCreationTool.exe (at any time) and then you run it at any time.

When you run it, it downloads an ISO. If you have an old version of MediaCreationTool.exe that you downloaded in September or something then who knows what it will download. I don't, that is for sure as I deleted the old versions.

If you look at MediaCreationTool.exe though it (the downloader not the ISO) also has a version. Perhaps it downloads that version of the ISO.

Like I said - I don't know. It is a possibility though.

 

Sorry, I forgot to click the Reply with quote button.
I was replying to cereberus.

My argument was.................it does not sound like he was using an old version of MCT from his own file explorer .
I based my argument on the OP's opening statement...................
Yesterday I decided to download WIN 10 Pro 64 bit with the media creation tool

 

davidhk,

The OP did not say that he downloaded the Media Creation Tool yesterday. He said he downloaded Windows 10 using the media creation tool yesterday. I could say exactly the same thing myself and get Windows 10 build 10240 today or tomorrow - I am going to download Windows 10 build 10240 later today using the Media Creation Tool. Why? Because I have a copy of the old build 10240 media creation tool sitting on my hard drive and it will still - for now anyway - download build 10240.

 

That's how you and others interpreted it. Not mine.

Let the OP clarifies his/her statement, if the OP cares to do so.

 

If the OP downloaded the Media Creation Tool yesterday from Microsoft and then used that same Media Creation Tool to download Windows 10 yesterday, then they would have gotten build 10586.
