The Windows 10 Media Creation Tool is an official utility that allows you to upgrade your current Windows system or create installation media for other computers. With this tool, you can download an ISO image and create a bootable DVD or USB drive. Upon launching the program, you can choose to either update your existing Windows installation or create an installation disc. The tool also lets you select the destination for the new files, which will replace the older versions. Note that the version of Windows 10 installed will depend on your previous Windows version. For instance, Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, 8, or 8.1 will upgrade to Windows 10 Home, while Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate, or any Pro editions of 8 or 8.1 will upgrade to Windows 10 Pro. Ensure you have the necessary information for your legally registered operating system.
Just finished my install and WOW! This tool is the real deal! Super user-friendly, quick, and just plain awesome. Can't imagine doing this the old-fashioned way. You rock, Microsoft!
