    I have my license key for Windows 10 pro, I just don't have the media, so I tried the only choice I could find, the Windows media creation tool. The trouble is that it ran for 20 hours, and never got past gathering data. So I tried to get media on my Linux computer and it let me download and iso image. What the heck is Microsoft doing, they help a Linux user, but not a Windows user. Is there some easier way to get a Windows 10 pro installation DVD? I plan do install it on the Linux computer, and do away with Linux.

    :)

    Media Creation Tool is NOT working

    Hi,

    There are several reasons why you're getting this issue on downloading Windows 10 using the
    Media Creation Tool. The most common are the network connection or the anti-virus firewall is enabled on your device.

    To resolve this, we suggest that you manually update the operating system instead of using the Media Creation Tool. Click on this

    Windows.
