Can't tell you how much this helped. Got a computer from rent a center and they gave it to me with the previous owner still logged to the PC. Worked like a charm. Much appreciated
Absolute life saver man !!! My pc started updating everyday for a whole month then windows just broke…. Nothing worked my system was so corrupt not even factory reset worked lmao… thank god i found this vid ❤️🥰
Great tutorial. Simple and easy to follow. I've just reinstalled Windows 10 on what I thought was a completely dead PC. Although I installed from the USB stick in the Recovery Mode > Use a device > I had 3 EFI options and chose the one at the top of the list (despite it not stating USB in the name). And it worked!! Before using the USB stick installation I had tried *every* troubleshooting option, PC reinstallation and uninstall update... everything... but everything failed until I tried the USB reboot method. Cheers😃 *PS.* I haven't had any problems with the missing Product Key after skipping it in the initial Windows 10 installation
thanks so much for this detailed tutorial. i was without internet access, missing drivers, and crucial updates for around 5-6 months until i found this solution. this has been the only thing that has actually helped me. a real lifesaver and it’s all thanks to you! ☺️
Its worth remembering: Media Creation Toolkit does not actually download a full contiguous "fresh" windows ISO from microsoft servers. It assembles one *mostly* using your existing windows installation (its basically a sysprep that then hashes and compares the results to a known set of reference blocks online, then gets replacement blocks for those that fail). Follow along with process explorer or task manager (or perfmon or process hacker) if you need evidence. The most obvious evidence is that you are almost guaranteed to see significantly less than the bandwidth total needed to add up to the end file size.
I wish I'd watched this first. I lost 30GB data on my 64GB stick. Still, taking nothing away from the video. It is understandable. Pretty easy steps to follow.
you didn't lose it. just search up "how to get original data back from USB drive" and then watch a video. it's pretty simple: open cmd, diskpart, >select disk [disk index number, usually "0"], >clean. >create partition primary, format drive.
Hey i know this isn't installation but, due to the fact i saw your C: disk management partition had "page file" in it I was able to solve the issue of why i couldn't delete a partition to format it into 1 on my HDD. So thanks for that, moved it to my SDD and now I have on big hard drive partition rather than 3 that were split up for some godawful reason.
I already have windows 10 installed but not working properly and I need to reset my pc can I chose upgrade option from usb Drive and keep all file protected in other drive
Since, I am having huge booting issues and other recovery issues have not worked. Can I use the media creation tool in a laptop that had a manufactured original copy of Windows license with it and have that license be recognized? Thank you this is an excellent video!
Thank you for the helpful video. Question: when you download the Media Creation Tool, does it automatically include the ISO file or do you have to download that separately? The USB stick needs ISO and Media Creation Tool to boot up the PC and start the installation process -- correct? Again, thank you for your time and energy.
-- A follow up for those people who are trying without success to download Windows Media Creation Tool: it didn't work for me until I used a USB memory stick with 128 GB of free space. I had read online in several areas, even MIcrosoft's site, that a memory stick with 20 GB would be adequate space. Not in my experience. Each memory stick I used was blank and formatted clean and ready with its maximum allotted storage. 10 GB, 16GB, etc. No luck. As an experiment I downloaded Media Creation Tool onto a brand new 128 GB memory stick. It worked. Download went smoothly and installation onto a new SSD drive worked without a hitch. Just saying.
@@rerite2 Thats weird, I've just installed a bootable windows install from the MS media creater on a 16 GB sandisk. Its actually 14.5 GB once formatted and it has 10 GB of free space afterwards. But then again, thats an desktop install from the downloaded MediaCreationTool21H2 ( www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 ) which is only 18.5 MB in size, it uses the internet to then download the files needed onto the USB stick, all from within Win10 desktop environment. The ISO image is only 4.3 GB too.
@@liftylu -- Yes, it's strange. I wish I could give a tech description about why exactly it worked but I don't know. It was a shot in the dark, by process of elimination, and it worked, thankfully.
Microsoft Media Creation Kit did the job, even if you have an exfat usb. It will format it to fat32 for you ! In my case i had 64 GB sandisk usb, wich is exfat !!!
Does it required to turn off every permission it asks like location and send diagnostics and many more? And if we turned it off what will happen and by chance we kept those settings on then what will happen please anyone reply it
Hi. I am following every step of this on another pc to make a bootable USB drive for another pc. It takes me through to the part where it asks if I want to create the media for this pc or another. I then click another whilst having an already formatted 32g USB in but then it sends an error message saying that I need to clean up 8g of space but not on the USB. It is actually asking that I do that on this pc's C drive. Why would that be and how does one fix it?
@@mahnoorkhandurrani8284 Not exactly. Still having issues. Managed to install windows again but keeps saying that my memory (not storage, because that's empty) is low, so I think it comes down to hardware problem rather than software. Btw, on a different pc, I installed windows without issue. Made Bootable disc and so on. No issues there.
@@mahnoorkhandurrani8284 I would try that. My laptop is more than 10 years old so I'm really thinking it's just time to upgrade but I would try that if I were you.
@@landibear6509 I am just wondering that how I will do that...right now I am trying to use rufus ...if it goes well than ok...otherwise I will try to change the path
In media creator tool I made bootable usb but then during windows instalation It did not ask me which version of windows I want to install, so I do not have this step there and also no step for putting product key and after instalation I check which version It installed so I have Home version. I do not understand this...I need to change for Pro version but I am not sure how to do...
I had a pirated version of win 10 on my pc...now i had got the media creation tool from Microsoft.. My question is do i have to choose the CUSTOM INSTALL option or UPGRADE option ? Please help somebody
What is not mentioned is that this application that Microsoft is offering is garbage. It keeps throwing an error when its installation starts. I tried this method, and it doesn't work. I even used the Rufus application, and the computer didn't even blink when I plugged in the USB after I made it "bootable." There are two options for the booting process. If I click one of them, I get a notification that I'm trying to boot it through the BIOS, and that method doesn't work. I tried it through the UEFI system as instructed, and it didn't even blink. If this method worked, the computer manufacturer would not include a DVD driver. This method is rubbish. I advise you not to rely on it. I wasted four hours on nothing.
after I plugged in a brand new 32 USB I'm on a laptop and it's still processing under HP I'm wondering is it frozen my hard drive I think bit the dust 😔
i have a new hard drive on my laptop. I want to reinstall windows because the hard drive must be formatted for me to be able to use a system image recovery i have with all my stuff on it. I have a windows digital license. Do i install using Custom install Windows only or the first one: upgrade install windows and keep files? thanks
My Win 10 crashed with the October update and its no longer on my drive which I do not want to reinstall win 10 on it...instead i bought a SSD drive...do u still recommend only use the Media creation tool with customs? BTW, you don't mention on unplugging the other drives in order to avoid a mistake...why?
⚠️ *WARNING: BACK UP ALL YOUR DRIVE DATA FIRST!!!* I was watching a different (but somewhat related) tutorial and didn't read the drive formatting alert and learned the hard way. PLEASE, don't repeat my mistake. I am now set back hundreds trying to recover my drive data.
When I get to the part where it says choose which media to use this never appears, it looks like its reading my C drive instead of my F drive which is my USB drive, so it says you need to make room on your C drive. How do I get it to read my USB drive?
Hello, I have a fuzzy screen on my Windows 11 computer, how would I access the bio with this? I’ve ordered a memory stick which will arrive tomorrow, but I wouldn’t be able to access this mode which you’re showing in terms of the installation. Any suggestions?
NICE PRESENTATION. VERY INFORMATIVE. THANKS . WILL YOU KINDLY SHOW US HOW TO BREAK OR RESET FORGOTTEN ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD ON WINDOW 7. MOST OF THE PRESENTATION AVAILABLE ON CZcams ARE NOT WORKING.
Hi, after I press install now it sends me directly to where I want to install windows instead of sending me to where I need to select the operating system. What should I do in this case if I want something else other than Windows 10 Home?
So systematic, clear, precise, thoughtful and well prepared. Wish other uploaders could match you. Much appreciated.
