How to create a Windows 10 bootable media using Media Creation Tool

If you’re planning to upgrade or install a fresh copy of Windows 10 on a PC, you can use the Media Creation Tool to create compatible bootable media. Just insert a USB flash drive with at least 4GB of storage to your computer, and then follow these steps:

1. Open the Windows 10 download page.
2. Under the “Create Windows 10 installation media” section, click the Download tool now button to save the file.

3. Double-click the MediaCreationToolxxxx.exe file to launch the setup.
4. Click the Accept button to agree to the licensing terms.
5. Select the “Create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) for another PC” option.

6. Click the Next button.
7. (Optional) Clear the “Use the recommended options for this PC” option.

8. Select the correct language, architecture, and edition of Windows 10 (if applicable).

• Quick tip: If you plan to install Windows on multiple computers running 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, use the “Architecture” drop-down menu and select the Both option to create a media that will work on both systems.

9. Click the Next button.
10. Select the USB flash drive option.

11. Click the Next button
12. Select the flash drive from the list. (If you do not see the device, click the “Refresh drive list” option.)

13. Click the Next button.
14. Click the Finish button.

Once you complete the steps, the Media Creation Tool will download the files and will create a bootable USB flash drive that you can use to install Windows 10 on computers with support for UEFI and BIOS.
