Install Windows 10 on your PC easily thanks to this tool.

Windows Media Creation Tool is an official Microsoft app that allows you to create a Windows 10 installer disk that you can use to install the operating system on a PC. The app is simple to use and takes care of configuring the installation media for you, so no technical expertise is required to take advantage of it.

Useful Tool for Windows 10 Users

While Windows 10 is seen as one of the most reliable and stable operating systems, there are times when a PC users will encounter problems that require the operating system to be reinstalled. This can happen if a hard drive fails and has to be replaced, if the operating system files become corrupted or if a computer has become infected with malware.

Windows Media Creation Tool lets you create a bootable DVD or USB that will allow you to reinstall the operating system on your PC. The Windows 10 installer it creates even lets you choose whether you want to wipe all of the files on your hard drive and do a clean install, which is recommended in case your PC was compromised by a virus, or if you want to keep your programs and configuration.

Very Simple Utility

Using Windows Media Creation Tool is quite easy, even if you've never installed an operating system on your PC before. The program prompts you to select the edition of Windows 10 you need, its language and your PC's architecture (either 32 or 64-bit). The tool will then take care of downloading the Windows 10 ISO files and copy them to the installation media you've provided, which can be either a DVD or USB flash memory stick. Throughout the whole process, you just need to follow the prompts and the program will do all of the work for you.

An Official Microsoft Tool

While there are many third-party programs that have similar functions, Windows Media Creation Tool is an official Microsoft app. This gives you the assurance that you're getting a program that will be fully compatible with Windows 10 and that will do its job correctly.

Overall, Windows Media Creation Tool works very well and doesn't suffer from any bugs. The only disadvantage is that the Windows 10 ISO files are quite large and you'll have to leave the program running while it downloads them. As the files are over 3 GB in size, the download can take over an hour if your Internet connection isn't too fast.
