    W10 Media Creation Tool

    I already did...twice. It will not run once downloaded, not even to tell me I've got the wrong version or something. It continually tells me "Error - Restart your computer and try running again." Again, I have followed the listed instructions, disabled my
    firewall, and run as Admin. If there is a link to simply downloading the ISO to disc, sans-"Media Creation Tool," please provide.

    WIN10 install using Media Creation Tool continues to get stuck on "unknown hard error"

    Windows Media Creation Tool Error 0x80070079-0xA001A

    Your USB thumb drive needs to be at least 8 GBs.

    The error code 0x80070079-0xA001A means that the tool doesn't have permission for it to run. For us to assist you, we suggest that you
    follow the simple steps listed below:


    • Right-click on the Media Creation Tool.exe.

    • Press Properties.

    • Click on General.

    • At the bottom, click on Unblock.

    • Press Apply, and then OK.
    Let us know how it goes and if you need further assistance, feel free to post back.



    You can also download the ISO first using the Media Creation Tool, then create a bootable copy. Yes, you can use it to perform clean install.

    If Windows 10 was already installed and activated on your system, just proceed to perform a direct clean install as described in the following articles.
