Windows 10: Windows 10 - no admin access to download creation tool

My computer crashed - HP Envy laptop with Windows 10 - I need to reinstall Windows 10. I don't have access to the download tool my other computers are either school or work admin restricted. How do I get just the image - or files - I need to reload Windows 10 onto my crashed PC? So I have access to other computers - but can't download the tool without admin access. Nor can I go to nearby library - same issue.

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

 

Media creation tool hangs downloading Windows 10, Progress 0%

I'm trying to create a bootable USB to install Windows 10 on a new drive. I've downloaded the media creation tool, and I'm running the program as admin, but it still hangs at"Downloading Windows 10, Progress 0%"

There are lots of references to this problem, but I can't seem to find a solution that works for me.

I tried:

• Right clicking to run as admin within admin account
• Running services.msc to check that Windows Firewall and Update are indeed set to automatic and currently running.
• Double checked that my thumb drive is empty and configured as FAT32
• Uninstalled antivirus and other extraneous software
