  1. Will i lose my apps and data with media creation tool?


    Hi guys, so I got a BSOD and can't turn on my PC at all, tried every troubleshooting step I found but nothing helped, so if I use the Windows Media Creation tool to install Windows 10 to a USB drive and then insert it into my broken PC will I get the option to choose to keep my software and data?

  2. If I upgrade to Windows 10 using media creation tool, will I lose all my data?

    Hi Sushmit,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    If you are trying to do upgrade then you won't lose any data. But I suggest you to take a backup of all personal data and then try to upgrade to Windows 10.

    You can download an ISO image file and then try to perform installation again by creating Installation media.

    To download an ISO image refer to the below link:

    Download Windows 10

    To create an Installation media refer to the below link.

    Windows 10 herunterladen

    You can also refer to the Microsoft help articles for more information.

    Thanks.

  3. If I upgrade to Windows 10 using media creation tool, will I lose all my data?

    I currently use Windows 8.1 Pro. I have downloaded Windows 10 using the media creation tool. I don't have a partition, i.e. all my data is stored in C drive. Will I lose all the data (movies, music, games, documents, softwares, photos & videos) if I upgrade
    to windows 10? Would really like to know if I have to back anything up before upgrading.
