I have a computer with a new hard drive, but no OS on it. Is it possible to download the media-creation software/Win10 ISO install files, and put them on a flash drive, and then use on a PC?  Thank you in advance for any help.

    Hey stevenmann1,

    I'm afraid the Xbox won't be up for that task, the Media Creation Tool is available only for x86 based Windows PCs. You'll have to borrow a friend's computer, a family member's, or just go to the library to grab the Media Creation Tool.

    Hope this helps, let me know if you have any additional concerns.

    You need to do that from a working computer running Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10.

    You can also do it from a computer running macOS or Linux.

    Download the Media Creation Tool Now

    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691209

    Right click the MediaCreationTool.exe file then click Run as administrator.

    Accept the End User License Agreement:

    Select the option Create installation media for another PC if you want to download a ISO image or create a bootable DVD or USB thumb drive,

    Click Next

    If you want to download a particular edition or both architectures, uncheck the Use the recommended option for this PC.

    Image

    Click in the Edition list box, choose your edition then click Next.

    Windows 10 - contains Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro.

    Windows 10 Home Single Language - only select this edition if you are running Windows 10 Single Language, Windows 8 Single Language or Windows 8.1 with Bing.

    Windows 10 N - only select this edition if you reside in Europe, it does not contain Windows Media Player. It contains Windows 10 Home N, Windows 10 Pro N.

    Downloading the ISO file

    An ISO file is a digital or virtual replica of a physical disc. In order to use an ISO you must burn it to a optical disc. In the case of Windows 10, a blank Dual Layer DVD or an empty USB thumb drive. If you are using Windows 7, you can create the .ISO then burn it using the built in Disc Image utility. If you are running Windows XP or Windows Vista, you can using a third party burning tool such as ImgBurn or Roxio/Nero.

    Exception: you can double click the ISO (or right click it, choose Open with > Fiel Explorer), mount it and start the upgrade in Windows 10.

    Creating a .ISO file

    For the purposes of this exercise, we are gonna use the .ISO option.

    Select ISO file, then click Save, Select your location then click Save.

    Wait while the .ISO image is created.

    MAKING A BOOTABLE COPY USING RUFUS:

    You can download Rufus, for free.

    http://rufus.akeo.ie/

    After downloading Rufus, connect your thumb drive, launch Rufus application, click in the Device list box then choose your thumb drive.

    Click in the list box then choose your partition scheme. If you select the ISO, Rufus will automatically select the appropriate options for you. Next, click in the File system list box, then choose FAT32. If your thumb drive is larger than 32 GBs, choose exFAT.

    Leave the default Cluster size then enter a label for your thumb drive.

    Click the choose disk image icon, browse to where the ISO file is located, select it then click Open.

    Click Start to copy the files to the thumb drive.

    If you have any files on the thumb drive, they will be deleted.

    Wait while the files are copied to your thumb drive.

    Close when complete

    Open File Explorer, then launch setup to begin the installation.

    STILL NOT ABLE TO DOWNLOAD THE ISO FILE?

    Download Windows 10 1803 from the following link:

    https://tb.rg-adguard.net/index.php?sid=74a7cf5...

    Choose the following:

    • Windows Final
    • Windows 10, version 1803
    • Windows 10 Pro + Home
    • English
    • x64 (64 bit) x32 (32 bit)

    Step 2: create a bootable copy
