    Creating ISO file via Media creation tool fails

    I've downloaded the media creation tool and chosen the option to create media for another PC. When it actually gets to the step of creating the media it is failing w/a "Something happened" error. I've tried it twice and it's aborted like this both times.
    Any help in creating (or direct links to the .iso file) is greatly appreciated.

    windows 10 media creation tool

    check the guide given below of tenforums that explain all the steps to create a USB:

    Media creation Tool and Techbench are both updated with Version 1511.

    The Techbench provides ISO's, so does the media creation Tool.You have both of the options, try anyone of these.

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/techbench

    Or Media Creation Tool:

    Download Windows 10

    Detailed steps:

    Download Windows 10 ISO File

    The size of the update through Windows update and ISO are nearly the same.
