    Win 10/64 Home


    Hi!


    I want to sell my laptop, but need to clean it up first. I removed all my files, but now want to make it ready for sale. So I used the Media Creation Tool for Win 10. When I first used it, I completed the process and entered my own MS account info, password included. I made a STUPID mistake doing this! So I restarted the setup.exe in the MCT, thinking that when came the time to enter my account info, there would be another option that I originally missed. So I went ahead and restarted the MCT. But when came the time for it to check for available space, I got the following error: "We can't tell if your PC has enough space to continue installing Windows 10. Try restarting Setup." I did that, but got the same error. I then did a cold boot and restarted Setup.exe. Same error again. Another cold boot returned the same error again. So how do I get pass that hurdle, and complete the install? While I'm at it, how do I avoid entering my own account info so that the buyer will be able to enter his after buying it?


    Thanks very much in advance.


    John

    Window 10 Media Creation Tool errors with 0x80070456 0xA0019

    I am trying to use the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool to create a bootable USB flash drive but am getting an error message. It seems download the files successfully but fails part way through transferring the files to the USB drive.

    The error message code I get is "Something went wrong ... 0x80070456 - 0xA0019"

    The steps I take are

    1. Run the program
    2. Accept the license conditions
    3. Choose "Create installation media for another PC"
    4. Language "English (United States)", Edition "Windows 10", Architecture "64-bit (x64)"
    5. Choose "USB flash drive"
    6. Choose the USB flash drive from the list

    I am running Windows 10 Professional. The USB drive is 64Gb.
