I chose to open the ISO folder and run the setup file inside it to perform an in-place upgrade of my Windows OS. One is to open the location where the ISO file has been saved and the other to Open a DVD Burner software to burn the ISO to disc. Once the ISO file is ready, you will see two options. The tool will then soon automatically start creating Windows 11/10 media. In any case, once you click on Next, the downloading of Windows 11/10 will start. You may use a USB Flash Drive which is at least 3 GB, or you can create an ISO file, which you can burn to a DVD later if you wish. If you click on Create installation media for another PC, you will see a screen asking you to choose the media to use. When you click on it to run the tool, you will see the following screen asking you if you want to Upgrade this PC now or Create installation media for another PC. These folders contain the downloaded setup and installation files, and an option to resume the creation process if it fails. When you run the tool, it creates two directories on your system partition – $WINDOWS.~BT and $Windows.~WS. Download the appropriate version of the tool and run it. There are two versions of the tool available – a 32-bit version and a 64-bit version.

The tool includes file formats optimized for download speed, built-in media creation options for USB & DVDs, and allows for optional conversion to ISO file format. It can be used to download the following editions of Windows 11/10 – Windows Home, Windows Home N, Windows Home Single Language, Windows Pro and Windows Pro N. You can use it to clean install or Upgrade to Windows 11/10.

The Windows Media Creation Tool will allow you to download the Windows 11/10 ISO directly from Microsoft, without having a product key. To download the Windows Installation Media Tool, visit here (Windows 10) or here (Windows 11) and scroll down till you see two purple Download Tool Now buttons. Although you can directly download Windows 10 ISO or Windows 11 ISO file, you can use the Media Creation Tool to download Windows 10 or Windows 11 and provides the best download experience for customers running Windows 11 and Windows 10.
