    Hi,

    Will it keep all my third-party installed if I update this way?


    I always see the option to keep the personal files and data but I have a quite amount of software&plug-ins installed and reinstalling those will be quite an headache.

    :)

    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
    link for the steps on how to update
    Windows.
