Media Creation Tool requires internet access, so you can't just flash a Windows .iso that you have independently downloaded from microsoft.com. Of course, you can always prepare the correct disklabel yourself, use a BOOTSECT.EXE incantation to make the USB bootable, then copy all the files, etc, but this really should be easier than that.
- AussieWog93 5y agoAre you sure about that? I distinctly remember using .isos with Media Creation Tool.
- madars 5y agoI just tried it and the tool started downloading Windows without giving me an option to select an .iso. It can download .iso's for burning them to DVD's but I don't think it can take dangling .iso's and make installation USBs out of them.
- AussieWog93 5y agoAhh, fair enough. Thanks for clarifying.
- phist_mcgee 5y agoDefinitely weird, I installed windows about a month ago and it asked in the tool if I wished to install using an ISO.
