  1. Windows 10 media creation tool crashes when trying to run and upgrade windows 7 home premium.


    I am trying to upgrade windows 7 home premium to windows 10. It says to download the media creation tool after getting a license first. I purchased a license from Microsoft and then went to download the windows 10 media creation tool but it crashes with an unknown error code. I tried running as administrator and also in compatibility mode, but it says the download tool is an incompatible program. One thing to note is that in the early days of windows 10 I got the free upgrade and installed but after a year or so, one of the automatic updates crashed and forced a reboot with last known setting

    :)

  2. Windows 10 USB boot

    Hi there, am not a windows 10 expert. I have a pc in the bedroom on windows 10, I messed up the bootloader trying to fix the xp on that system.

    System wont boot, trying to repair via win 10 usb installer.

    Downloaded the media creation tool to install windows 10 installer on usb stick. Not compatible with a host of usb sticks I have. Tried the usb sticks that others use, but I think they use rufus; as the media creation tool by win 10 does not detect the usb stick.

    So quick question, the win10 machine i am trying to repair the bootloader is a win7 upgraded to win10.
    If i were to use the usb win10 installer to "repair installation" does the version of the iso downloaded via the media creation tool matter?

    There is three options:
    Windows 10
    Windows 10 Home
    Windows 10 N

    Also is there a step by step instead of using rufus as I want to try an alternative method of creating a usb win 10 installer. Preferably with more compatibility.

    System is a asus sabertooth 990 (r2?) with AMD phenom X 6.

    Also is there any other software I can load onto the usb that can repair the bootloader easily?
    That would be the ideal alternative. Thanks

  3. creation of windows 10 media

    Hi Jithesh,



    You might face this issue if the downloaded setup file is corrupted.



    • Did you try to download the setup again?
    • Did you try to upgrade through Windows Update?


    First, I would suggest you to try updating through Windows Update and check if you are able to upgrade to Windows 10. If you are unable to upgrade through Windows Update, then I would suggest you to download the Windows 10 ISO again and save it locally
    on the desktop and then try to run the upgrade.

    Windows media creation tool problem


    What is your intention with Media Creation Tool ?
    Are you planning to install Windows 10 over your Windows 7 Home Premium ?

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...load/windows10

    Open the Media Creation Tool link again > scroll down to Download Tool now and click the button.
    click Run > select Create installation media for another PC
    That will start downloading the iso to your computer.
    Make sure you know where the download is going to be saved to.

    After that, you have several choices:
    1. Burn the iso file to a bootable dvd or usb, and use it for a Clean Install.
    2. Use the iso file itself and do an In-place Upgrade Install.( use Step #7 )

    Whichever way you decide, make sure you create a Win 7 Home Premium installation disc, or a set of Recovery disks.
    That will be you "Plan B" in case things go awry.
