Don't worry, you can use this method for the same PC you're already using. After accepting the license terms, choose Create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) for another PC.We're going to be focusing on using an ISO file here, but the process is very similar if you want to create a USB drive. If this is the route you want to take, run the Media Creation Tool as mentioned above. Make sure to back it up to another device. This normally requires a larger thumb drive.If you use a USB drive as installation media, any data on it will be deleted. In fact, you can download all architectures and edition, which you can use to upgrade a mixture of versions and editions. When you boot from it, you will have to choose which architecture of Windows 10 you want to install (32 or 64 bit).Īnother difference with the Media Creation Tool, it lets you specify which editions and architecture you want to download. The retail Windows 10 box license is the same, but the install media comes in the form of a small USB thumb drive and only in one specific edition based on your purchase (Home or Pro). You can also use the Media Creation Tool to also download an ISO image, which you can use to manually create a bootable copy on a blank DVD or USB using your favorite program. The Media Creation Tool can be used to perform direct upgrades from Windows 7 or Windows 8, or you can use it to create a bootable copy on an empty USB thumb drive or blank DVD.
With the release of the Windows 10 Creators Update, the Media Creation Tool will be updated to download and install the latest version only. 726 either during the installation (if connected the Internet) or through Windows Update after completing the installation. The digital download through the Microsoft Store using the Media Creation Tool includes the latest release (14393.0), which is updated to. The physical retail package is stuck at build 10240, which you have to update to the latest version (14393.726) through Windows Update.
What are the differences between the two?īoth are the same product in some respects, the only difference is the method of acquisition and installation. You can acquire it as a digital download or as a retail full package product. Windows 10 is distributed through multiple market channels.
