I am using a HP - Victus 16.1" Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 - 256GB SSD. I bought this laptop from Best Buy. I need to reinstall Windows. It is working now, and my m.2 SSD's work fine. But when I use the Media creation tool and create a bootable SSD...
hi there
it seems like a similar problem to the last one posted, but for not confusing the problem I opened a new thread.
I disabled secure boot, there are no devices attached beside mouse, keyboard and the usb-stick (no ethernetcable as well).
Here's my problem:
i had a running desktop gaming...
Can the Media Creation Tool be used to boot a PC and restore a recently created drive image (22H2) for Windows 10, i.e. without restoring or installing a clean new installation? Essentially can it do what the Repair Disk used to do?
I want to upgrade my SSD to a larger drive. My HP Probook 450 G3 is running Windows 10 64 bit, and has UEFI disabled, running in BIOS mode. I have created an image on an external USB 2TB drive using the Windows 10/7 backup app. To restore that image on the new SSD, I need bootable media, but...
I had to do a re-install of Windows 10 on my older laptop (HP X360). I used the Windows Media Creation Tool to install a basic system. Everything seems to be working and I have installed most of the programs, address book and Favorites that I need. BUT, one thing that I don't understand is when...
Users from the Russian Federation can currently get iso only through the windows media creation tool service. And since microsoft does not provide checksums, there is no way to check the created image, moreover, the checksums of the files vary with each new launch. Based on the above, I have a...
Hi Guys,
How to create image/clone of entire windows 10 to a .iso file, that can be uploaded on virtualbox?
MediaCreationTool is stuck on 0%.
What alternative software achieves this?
Hi Windows Forum
I have been experiencing some rather annoying issues with my WIndows 10 Home Edition.
At random times it either gives me a blue screen where it says "Your PC closed unexpected, please restart" or just this evening after opening Battlefield 3 while having a administrating program...

I created a Windows 10 recovery drive on USB a while ago and I reckon I could create an updated version from ;media creation tool'. Can anyone tell me if I can then use this to install Windows 10 on a new PC when I stop using this 8 year old slow model? I have a product code for the original...
Background: A messed up attempt at restoring my Windows 10 Pro state to 3 days earlier using a Macrium Reflect backup corrupted my PC boot record and I was unable to fix it using bootrec and diskpart. So, now I want to reinstall it without losing my programs from an ISO image that I produced...

I am tasked with upgrading Win 7 workstations to Win 10.
I have successfully upgraded two(2) windows 7 machines to Windows 10 using the Media creation tool with the option "Upgrade this PC".
The process took about 30 minutes for each and one workstation was a 32-bit OS and the other was a...
I came here for some assistance regarding a problem I can't seem to overcome. We're a VERY SMALL company with only seven PCs and three laptops, and since I guess I'm the only one with ANY 'knowledge' whatsoever about such things (and I am not, in all truth, all THAT 'knowledgeable' in any real...

How can make a hard drive that allows me to install both 64-bit and 32-bit windows into any machine if I plug it into. I don't mean a USB stick, or external hard drive, I mean an actual hard drive. This is my only option right now.
I tried the media creation tool but it only allows me to use...
