Windows 10: Media Creation Tool

Today, Nov 21st, I found out the Media Creation Tool has been changed.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/softw...load/windows10
It looks like the older one with the choice of bit-versions.

Is this a most current one with threshold 2 10586, or has Microsoft pulled it down and replaced it with the older one ?

I already have the 10586 downloaded and burnt to a DVD. That's not my worry.
Just want to know if this one is the one for th2 10586.

Media Creation Tool

Microsoft determined my Toshiba machine could be successfully upgraded from Win7 to Win10.

I was going to use the Media Creation Tool to either do an automatic repair or failing that perform a restore. Not a clean install.

 

Media Creation Tool

So, you cannot make the media tool from your Vista machine. Vista is an older os and is not supported anymore by Microsoft. What you should do is have your friend help you create the media tool. After that, run it in your Toshiba machine. You will have to
go to the bios of the machine to do a clean installation of Windows 10 (boot your machine from the usb). The thing is not about accepting Microsoft's offer to install Win. 10 on the Toshiba machine. As I mentioned, it is weather the machine specific meets
the requirements of Windows 10. If it doesn't and you are able to install Windows 10 successfully, the machine could have issues when running it. Plus, you might need a license for Windows 10.

So, you were able to install Windows 10 based on your last points? There are issues because your device is not compatible with Win. 10.

 

Yes it has been changed.... back to version 10240...

That is interesting..

 

My link does not have the quote you posted. Please open my link to compare.
That is why I asked. Just to know what is going on.
Does that mean we cannot suggest the link to others for th2 10586 ?

Oh. Sorry. I did not see you'd added to your reply.
So, this one is for 10240. Weird.

your link "EN-CA" My link "EN-US"

 

It will download Version 10586.0, it will gather 'Critical Updates' during installation to bring it to Version 10586.11

 

Now I have 2 opposite answers.

 

Right-Click MediacreationTool.exe
select properties
select details

Read file version...

Try the media creation tool download LINK again....
As of right now the link downloads "mediacteationtool.exe" version 10240


I would think MS restored a prior backup of the website..
I would also assume the correct webpage will be displayed again, soon..
Otherwise not sure why MS would have taken the newer page down..

 

Downloaded Windows 10 from Tech Bench last night at 9:35PM. I got version 10240. I also have an install of build 10240 and updates to 10586 are not showing up in Windows Update.

 

I confirm.
Under Details tab, it does say File version 10240

 

I have just download Windows 10 from both the Media Creation Tool (Windows 10 Pro x64) and Techbench (Windows 10 Home/Pro x64) and both ISOs are indeed build 10240. In addition to this craziness, I have seen one reported case that WU is sending down build 10240 when upgrading a laptop from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Go figure.

 

So, 10586 has now been confirmed > to be pulled from 3 different MS update/upgrade sources..

 

Wow. Weird indeed. I had been planning to download iso to push my wife's laptop as she's not getting it through WU. Think I'll just brew on this a while longer until the waters clear slightly - things seem rather turbid ATM.
