    Please I need more clarification--
    So, you have Run MCT from your Hard Drive. I understand that when you click RUN MCT start downloading Windows 10. Did you download windows 10 to your Hard drive and then copypasted it to a Flash Drive? When it has completely downloaded, how did you prevent it from installing it?

    When I ran the MCT I clicked on the option to download to USB. When it has completed, you click on finish and it is done.
    If you want to reinstall Windows 10 you set up your PC to boot from the USB you created and install Windows.

    Thanks so Much Genet! So, later on I can still use it for my PC? Do I need to Create ISO?
    Creating Installation for another PC that the choice to create media to store Windows 10. I was confused because I couldn't understand "Updating PC now" vs" creating installation for another PC" would download and install. I wanted just download. So, after the download finishes, I am done or do I have to do ISO?
