Media Creation Tool Windows 8 Pro 64 Bit

[Abbie Pilz]

Usethis option and download Media Creation Tool if you want to create bootable USB media to perform a clean install on new or existing hardware. To get started you first need a license to install Windows 11 or have a Windows 10 device that qualifies for an upgrade to Windows 11.

To get started, you will first need to have a license to install Windows 11. You can then download and run the media creation tool. For more information on how to use the tool, see the instructions below.

I've been encountering a persistent problem with the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool. Whenever I attempt to use it to upgrade my system, it either fails to start, crashes midway, or completes without creating a usable media. Specifically, I get the error code 0x80072f8f - 0x20000 during the process.

Additionally, there are times when the tool does not seem to detect the USB drive I intend to use for the installation media. I've ensured my internet connection is stable and have tried running the tool as an administrator, but these steps haven't resolved the issues. Has anyone experienced similar issues or have any advice to share?

If you find that your Windows 11 media creation tool not working and prompts some errors. Don't worry. The best alternative is Win-Boot-Mate, a cross-platform app for creating Windows 11/10/8/7 bootable USB. It also has a built-in feature to install Windows 11 on a computer that does not meet the system requirements.

Before trying to use Windows 11 media creation tool usb, make sure you have run some system repair and scanning commands. First, open a command prompt, preferably run it as an administrator, and then run the following commands in order:

After completing these scans and repairs, try running the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool USB as administrator again. This tool can be slow to start sometimes, so please be patient for a few minutes.

If you have tried all the suggestions on the forum and the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool is still not working, then the problem may lie in the fact that the DISM tool itself is corrupted, or that there is an error in the registry. In this case, you may need to take a more direct approach to installing Windows 11.

I suspect you may be trying to use the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool USB with an external 2TB hard disk rather than a standard USB flash drive. Note that the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool is primarily designed to make a bootable USB flash drive for installing Windows 11 on your computer. this tool does not support installing Windows 11 directly on an external hard drive. if the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool doesn't work and you want to make your 2TB hard drive bootable and install Windows 11 while preserving other data, you can do this: right-click on "this" hard drive to install Windows 11 while preserving other data.

If the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool not working and you want to make your 2TB hard disk bootable and install Windows 11 while preserving other data, you can do it like this: Right-click on "This computer" and select "Manage" to open "Computer Management". Then, go to Disk Management and try to extend the partition to utilize all the unallocated disk space. In this way, your hard disk will be able to install Windows 11 as well as store other data.

I just tried to make a Win10 USB boot disk today using the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool and everything went fine. If you're having problems with the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool not working, you might want to check to see if your USB drive is large enough. It needs to be at least 8GB, though I'd recommend 16GB.

If you choose the ISO file option, the tool will save the ISO file to the internal drive you specify, which is especially helpful for doing upper system repair installations. After that, you can also use software like RUFUS to "burn" the ISO file to a CD or USB drive (although the term "burn" is a carryover from the CD days). These steps can help you solve the problem of Windows 11 media creation tools not working.

Error code 0x80072f8f - 0x20000 is a known issue with the Media Creation Tool. It's often caused by network connectivity problems or issues with the Windows Update service. Some antivirus software might interfere with the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool. Try temporarily disabling it and see if that resolves the issue.

And If the Windows 11 Media Creation Tool is not detecting your USB drive, let me know If you're using a USB hub or an external hard drive, try connecting it directly to a different USB port on your PC.

@PedroBitting Windows 11 Media Creation Tool is still not working? Sometimes, the tool might get stuck in a bad state. Try resetting it by deleting the %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Downloaded Program Files folder and then running the Media Creation Tool again.

If Windows 11 Media Creation Tool not working because usb is not recognized, please make sure the USB drive is at least 8 GB in size and formatted as NTFS or FAT32. Some drives might need to be reformatted before burning Windows 11 ISO to it.

If not, you can probably delete it by doing a disk cleanup. Right click the drive, select properties from the bottom of the list. In the general tab select disk cleanup, wait for it to calculate, then click clean up system files, wait again then while it finds all the update files - hopefully it will remove the folder then, and select OK to delete it.

The creation tool only removes the temporary files after a successful ISO or USB media creation. If it fails, the temporary files have to be removed by the Disk Cleanup tool:

Have a new XG85 installed with defaults and all traffic allowed out. Before the new firewall was installed Windows 10 media creation tool ran fine. Now it give an error 0x80200013 - 0x90017 on 3 different machines.

When I insert a USB stick into my PC i get a pop up saying new device detected. When I try to create a media creation tool using the MS app, the process starts then i believe when it tries to write to the usb drive fails. just has and error cannot create on your computer or something close to that. So I assume it's BD. How can i turn off BD scanning or doing anything with my USB

What a horrible "solution." I'm sure most tech-savvy users simply have "Scan flash drives" disabled because of the lack of useful options. I wouldn't mind Bitdefender scanning my flash drives, as I do occasionally use them in other systems. But since the options can't be changed, i.e., I can't create exclusions or just have the app WARN ME about a PUP or other detection on the flash drive, then the entire flash drive scanning feature is worthless. I'm IT, so I have some powerful anti-virus tools on the flash drive and port-scanning apps, etc. The last thing I want your AV software to do is arbitrarily delete my files that are on the drive for a reason.

The media creation tool can be used to upgrade your computer to Windows 10 or to create a USB or DVD and install Windows 10 on a different computer. Microsoft has a step-by-step process to allow you to upgrade to Windows 10 using the media creation tool.

Once you open the link, click the SHOW ALL link to see all the instructions for running the upgrade on the computer you are on or how to create a DVD or USB Key to run the upgrade on another computer.

I created the usb flash drive from the Microsoft Media Creation Tool. For some reason it'cant boot the computer from this flash drive. It boots my other computers fine. I've set the boot order to have usb disk first.

F9 doesn't give me any usb option. I have to go to F10 and change the boot order to usb key. I'vIfe disabled secure boot , tried legacy mode and all kinds of combinations. It will not boot from this drive or a different flash drive I tried. The flash drives boot my other computers fine. I've used the windows media creation tool and rufus with complete failure. I don't know what to try next. If I can't figure this out I don't know how I'll ever reinstall windows.

It does show a boot option list it just doesn't show any usb flash drives. I've tried turning off secure boot and turning on legacy mode but nothing works. The laptop will boot with my Image for Linux imaging program. It boots instantly off that.

I have Windows 10 Enterprise licenses. I downloaded the ISOs, and used the old Windows 7 USB creation tool, but newer tablets do not see this installation or boot from it. The newer tablets see Windows 10 bootable USB sticks that are made from the Windows 10 Media Creation tool.

Finally, just open the .ISO file, copy all contents to the USB stick and restart your machine. If you changed your BIOS or UEFI to be able to boot from USB, then the stick is fully ready to install Windows from it.

I just switched from a long-time ThinkPad Windows laptop to a MacBook Pro with a M3 chip. Took a few days and managed to set up most of the things. However, I could not find a way create a Windows 11 installation media on my Mac. There are a lot of free tools available on Windows for making bootable USB. It seems the situation is much different on macOS.

Do you have a Windows virtual machine on your Mac? This could be really helpful for creating Windows 11 bootable USB on Mac. There are many free tools you can use in Windows platform, like the official Windows 11 Media Creation Tool. However, it could be a time consuming process to create a Windows virtual machine on a Mac.

Stack Social site has Intel Windows 11 licenses on the cheap. Requires signing into a Microsoft account as part of the license purchase process so that the purchase will be recorded with Microsoft. Then one downloads the Windows 11 ISO directly from Microsoft which contains the various Intel Windows 11 and Windows 11 Pro installers.

As for Apple Silicon Macs, there is no support from Apple or Microsoft for installing Windows 11 for ARM on bare metal. If you get Parallels Desktop, I believe you can download Windows 11 for ARM (for installation inside virtual machines) from inside Parallels. However, you will need to pay Microsoft for Windows on top of paying Parallels for the Parallels Desktop.
