1448386 2018-04-13 01:13:00 Hi, I am using the Media Creation Tool then I select USB stick, it takes 2hr to show 2%. What's going on is the server slow? I am using a network cable with 100/20 internet plan with 2Degrees.


Thanks.


Edit - seems working now. I re-downloaded the creation media tool. Maybe it was a server issue. It took me 10mins just to download that tool.

1448388 2018-04-13 01:28:00 MCT normally works fine, I use it for this purpose quite regularly and it maxes out our 50Mbps VDSL connection.

Speedy- can rufus create a UEFI installer?

1448389 2018-04-13 01:31:00 Sure can . MBR and UEFI. Just select GPT under partition . After you plug in a flash drive. Add the ISO then click on start Speedy Gonzales (78)
1448390 2018-04-13 01:39:00 You mean the ISO option with the media creation tool? :) I did that in the past but my ISO program probably stuffed, up cos the DVD didn't boot. Nomad (952)
1448391 2018-04-13 01:47:00 Nope rufus http://rufus.akeo.ie/

You can get the ISO with the mediacreation tool, then use rufus to extract whats in the ISO to make a bootable flash drive

1448392 2018-04-13 01:47:00 Good to know, thanks. I haven't used it much for a while. wratterus (105)
1448393 2018-04-13 01:49:00 Yup a good little program. Used it this morning to reinstall the Fall creator's ISO on an ASUS H97M-E. Which has a UEFI BIOS.

And this desktop, which doesnt have a UEFI BIOS

1448394 2018-04-13 05:38:00 A related question. I have a laptop that had Windows 7 and I took the free upgrade to Windows that was available at the time. I have backups but let's say that was not usable how does one get back their Windows 10 for free? Nomad (952)
1448395 2018-04-13 07:02:00 Reinstall it, skip the key, it'll activate when online. That simple. dugimodo (138)
