    I have a laptop with 32GB SSD that came equipped with Windows 10 and Office 365. There’s 10.4 GB of empty space left. I’m trying to use the Windows 10 setup media creation tool to create an ISO file to create a new instance of windows on a 1TB ssd over usb-a. The setup tool says it needs 8GB on C: which I have. I have tried saving the ISO on a usb 128G jump D: drive, the 1TB E: as well as the C: drive - all with the same error. “We need more space” . Please advise.

    :)

  3. 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.
