Check to make sure you're connected to the internet and try running the tool again. "We weren't able to to download all of the necessary files. However, attempting to run the Media Creation Tool on that computer turns up the following message: I actually do have an older, bigger laptop that runs Windows 7 and has the required 8GB of spare space. What I'm saying is both the media creation tool & the actual download have to be downloaded first to a drive independent of the usb one.ĭo you mean to say that Flip_35's offer is unworkable? The phrasing makes that somewhat ambiguous. It downloads windows in its entirety then converts it to a bootable install & formats the external in the process.
It doesn't do this on the fly while downloading. You can't do this because that external drive needs to be solely for the bootable install files. How do I remedy this? How do I make sure that the Media Creation Tool installs to the external HDD? Which fails, every time, since my tablet simply would not have the 8GB required free space even if I wiped the OS from it. Not to the 1TB external HDD that would actually be useful for this purpose. I moved the application ("MediaCreationTool1803") to the external drive and double clicked it, making sure to enter the parameters for my desktop PC (English UK, Windows 10, 64 bit architecture).Īnd - infuriatingly, maddeningly - it attempts to install the tool to my tablet. To create the "Media Creation Tool," I downloaded the executable from the above link onto a dinky little notebook (really it's a tablet that has an attachable keyboard and happens to run Windows 10) and plugged in a 1TB external HDD that I had lying around. As such, I went to the following link to download a "media creation tool" so that I could re-install Windows 10. Sniffing around the internet revealed that the Windows 10 DRM seems to be connected to the motherboard, not to the memory storage unit.
I have a new SSD on the way (Intel, since their internal SSD quality control is apparently really good). So, the SSD that was holding my operating system (Windows 10) has given up the ghost.
