Installing Windows 10 using the media creation tool

The media creation tool can be used to upgrade your current PC to Windows 10 or to create a USB or DVD and installWindows 10 on a different PC.
Here’s a quick look at the steps to get Windows 10 installed on your PC using this tool.

Note

  • If you want to upgrade to Windows 10 for free, select Upgrade this PC now in the tool.

Download the tool

  1. Find the media creation tool on the Software download page.
  2. There are two versions of the tool, one for a “32-bit operating system” and one for a “64-bit operating system.” To find out which you have, go to Start, type Control panel, select System and security, and then, under System, look at the value for System type:.
  3. If your PC is a 32-bit operating system, on the Software download page, select Download tool now (32-bit version). If your PC is a 64-bit operating system, select Download tool now (64-bit version).
  4. When you're asked, select Run (or choose to Save the tool if you don't want to run it now).

If you chose to create installation media

You can install from an ISO, a USB, or a DVD. Here's how:
  • Mount the ISO, and then run setup.exe from it.
  • If you downloaded to a USB or a DVD, run setup.exe from the USB or DVD.
Both of these options allow you to upgrade the PC if it's already running Windows 7, Windows 8Windows 8.1, orWindows 10.

Note

  • If you created installation media using a USB, after your PC has restarted, if you see a message that says "Install Windows" instead of installation progress for your PC, you'll need to disconnect the USB and then restart your PC again.
