    MediaCreationTool Gives Useless Message


    Hello,

    I am running Windows 7 64 Ultimate and I am trying to run the MediaCreationTool64 from Microsoft. When I run it, I get the very helpful message shown below.

    At least it's nice to see Windows 10 is carrying on the long-standing Windows tradition of supplying useful and actionable information in their error messages. Thank you, Microsoft.

  2. "Restoring your previous version of windows" Windows 10

    Hi,

    I was waiting for windows 10 upgrade notification to show up but it did not show up so I decided to use MediaCreationTool.

    I have to pc one running on Windows 7 home premium (original) and an other is running windows 8.1 (student).

    On windows 8.1 (student) system when I used MediaCreationTool-> upgrade this pc it gives Something Happened message. So I created a USB media drive with MediaCreationTool and tried to install but this case it shows error in my product key which I cross checked
    so many time with product key which I got from microsoft for my Windows 8.1 student ver. So it stuck there.

    On Windows 7 home premium System tried same MediaCreationTool-> upgrade this pc it gives same Something Happened error message.

    I tried other option with USB. In this system this setup didn't asked for product key and start installing but after upgrading around 80% it says "Restoring your previous version of windows"

    Tried two times same result so this system stucks

  3. Cannot reset, restore, open task manager, open resource monitor, and a number of other things

    I tried running that tool, and it gave me an error message: Windows cannot find "c\users\teamhartinger\downloads\mediacreationtool(1).exe. Make sure you typed that name correctly, and then try again.

    It gives me that message anytime I try to open anything besides games and the internet. That's the same message it gives me when I try to access the task manager. If I try to run Malwarebytes, I get the same message too.
