    Media creation tool wont upgrade from 10 pro to 10 educational


    Hi,


    I am trying to upgrade my windows OS from 10 Pro to the new 10 Educational I have been provided by my uni. your media creation tool keeps spitting out an error "The language or edition of the version of windows currently installed on your PC isnt supported by this tool."


    My current OS is in english, the tool is engligh, the new OS is the multi-language version. How do I get past this issue?


    My PC fully meets and surpass's all the minimum requirements and the recommended requirements. I had no issue doing the upgrade from 7 -> 10 Home and from 10 home-> Pro.


    Do i need to download a multi language pack version of Pro for this to work?

    :)

    Media Creation Tool for Windows 10 PRO

    Where can I find a Media Creation Tool that will create Windows 10 Pro media?

    The current media creation tool available here:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

    creates a Windows 10 Home install on my laptop.

    The only reason I can think of for this behavior is that there is a Windows 8.1 Home SLIC entry in the BIOS, and it is assuming that "Home" is therefore the correct version to install. However I was running Windows 8.1 Pro (purchased separately from the
    laptop) and successfully did an in-place upgrade to Windows 10 Pro before running into software problems caused by the in-place upgrade.

    Bottom line - where can I find Windows 10 Pro installation media? The in-place install doesn't work for me and the current Media Creation Tool creates media that incorrectly installs Windows 10 Home.

    Use only this link to
    Media Creation Tool
    to download and install it now, take the requested screenshots again.

    When did you originally Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro? Did you confirm it was Activated and that the Activation read for Pro.

    Windows 10 Media Creation Tool


    I got bored waiting for my 10 Pro upgrade message so I am using the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool to play around with installing Windows 10 Pro.

    I chose the Upgrade Now option instead of creating media.

    (step 3) https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2...tallation.html

    There were lots of different windows up till now.
    So I started screenshots now.

    If I lose installed programs I will use my Macrium image to revert to 8.1 Pro.
    Be back after installing 10 or reverting.
