    Needing clarity, regarding MediaCreationTool21H1, trying to understand choices given


    With things changing so quickly it is hard to tell how old or not info given is regarding this tool or reinstalling windows. What I have read regarding the use of 'MediaCreationTool21H1' is this; that once I run it I will have 2 choices:-1- Upgrade this PC now-2- Create installation media....for another PC.The 1st choice suggests that I have for example Windows 8.1 and want to upgrade to Win10.

    I try to make suggestions clear, simple and easy to understand, without too much information at one time, this tends to help people with computer problems think through each step, which has already happened regarding my first post [to the OP], he is already questioning a piece of software.


    Edited for clarity

    Ah gotcha.

    Btw, did you see this air-cooler listing? They listed my Fenrir choice as #3 and you suggested the xiggy which didn't even make the list. What were your reasons behind this cooler?

    I'm not trying to be a jerk, i'm just curious.
