Media Creation Tool
для Windows
Windows 11/10 Media Creation Tool — фирменная утилита от Microsoft Corporation, позволяющая создавать загрузочные образы операционной системы Windows 11/10 без использования ключа продукта непосредственно с сервера компании. Эта программа значительно упростила получение нужной Вам версии ОС Windows, не требуя сложных настроек и предоставляя возможность выбора необходимой архитектуры.
Для получения полностью легального образа системы потребуется интернет-соединение, а также носитель — USB-флешка или DVD-диск. После запуска утилиты выберите язык ОС, тип издания (домашняя, Pro и др.) и архитектуру (32-bit или 64-bit). А далее просто определите, куда записать образ операционки. Если выберите DVD-диск, то будет создан ISO-образ, а при выборе USB flash drive загрузочная флешка создастся даже без предварительного ISO-образа. Далее все проходит в автоматическом режиме — Вам останется только дождаться окончания процедуры установки.
Кроме этого, вы можете использовать Media Creation Tool для обновления системы до последней версии Windows 10/11 непосредственно на вашем компьютере без создания загрузочного носителя.

Before updating, please refer to the Windows release information status for known issues to confirm your device is not impacted.
Stay Secure with Essential Windows Updates: After October 14, 2025, Windows 10 will no longer receive free software updates, technical support, or security fixes. This means your PC will be more vulnerable to security threats and malware. Consider Upgrading to Windows 11: Move to the security, speed, and innovation that Windows 11 PCs provide, available at every price point. Upgrading to Windows 11 ensures you continue to receive the latest security updates, features, and technical support, keeping your PC safe and efficient. For more information on preparing for Windows 10 end of support, see our Windows blog post.
Create Windows 10 installation media
To get started, you will first need to have a license to install Windows 10. You can then download and run the media creation tool. For more information on how to use the tool, see the instructions below.
-
Here’s when to use these instructions:
- You have a license to install Windows 10 and are upgrading this PC from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1.
- You need to reinstall Windows 10 on a PC you’ve already successfully activated Windows 10.
If you are installing Windows 10 on a PC running Windows XP or Windows Vista, or if you need to create installation media to install Windows 10 on a different PC, see Using the tool to create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD, or ISO file) to install Windows 10 on a different PC section below.
Note: Before you install Windows 10, check to make sure your PC meets the system requirements for Windows 10. We also recommend going to the PC manufacturer’s website for any additional info about updated drivers and hardware compatibility.
- Select Download tool, and select Run. You need to be an administrator to run this tool.
- On the License terms page, if you accept the license terms, select Accept.
- On the What do you want to do? page, select Upgrade this PC now, and then select Next.
-
After downloading and installing, the tool will walk you through how to set up Windows 10 on your PC. All Windows 10 editions are available when you select Windows 10, except for Enterprise edition. For more information on Enterprise edition, go to the Microsoft 365 admin center.
- If you don’t have a license to install Windows 10 and have not yet previously upgraded to it, you can purchase a copy here: get-windows-10
- If you previously upgraded to Windows 10 on this PC and you’re reinstalling it, you don’t need to enter a product key. Your copy of Windows 10 will automatically activate later using your digital license.
- When Windows 10 is ready to install, you’ll see a recap of what you’ve chosen, and what will be kept through the upgrade. Select Change what to keep to set whether you would like to Keep personal files and apps, or Keep personal files only, or choose to keep Nothing during the upgrade.
- Save and close any open apps and files you may be running, and when you’re ready, select Install.
- It might take some time to install Windows 10, and your PC will restart a few times. Make sure you don’t turn off your PC.
-
Follow these steps to create installation media (USB flash drive or DVD) you can use to install a new copy of Windows 10, perform a clean installation, or reinstall Windows 10.
Before you download the tool make sure you have:
- An internet connection (internet service provider fees may apply).
- Sufficient data storage available on a computer, USB or external drive for the download.
- A blank USB flash drive with at least 8GB of space or blank DVD (and DVD burner) if you want to create media. We recommend using a blank USB or blank DVD, because any content on it will be deleted.
- When burning a DVD from an ISO file, if you are told the disc image file is too large you will need to use Dual Layer (DL) DVD Media.
Check a few things on the PC where you want to install Windows 10:
- 64-bit or 32-bit processor (CPU). You’ll create either a 64-bit or 32-bit version of Windows 10. To check this on your PC, go to PC info in PC settings or System in Control Panel, and look for System type.
- System requirements. Make sure the PC meets the system requirements for Windows 10. We also recommend going to the PC manufacturer’s website for additional info about updated drivers and hardware compatibility.
- Language in Windows. You’ll need to choose the same language when you install Windows 10. To see what language you’re currently using, go to Time and language in PC settings or Region in Control Panel.
- Edition of Windows. You should also choose the same edition of Windows. To check what edition you’re currently running, go to PC info in PC settings or System in Control Panel, and look for Windows edition. Windows 10 Enterprise isn’t available in the media creation tool. For more info, go to the Microsoft 365 admin center.
- Microsoft Office products. If you just purchased a new device that includes Office 365, we recommend redeeming (installing) Office before upgrading to Windows 10. To redeem your copy of Office, please see Download and install Office 365 Home, Personal, or University on your PC. For more information, check How to upgrade to Windows 10 on new devices that include Office 365.

To check for updates now, select the Start button, and then go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update, and select Check for updates. You may also wish to visit your device manufacturer’s support site for any additional drivers that may be needed.
Note: Drivers for Surface devices may be found on the Download drivers and firmware for Surface page.
Using the installation media you created (click to show more or less information)
Before you install Windows 10, it’s a good idea to save any work and back up your PC before you start. If you used the media creation tool to download an ISO file for Windows 10, you’ll need to burn it to a DVD before following these steps.
- Attach the USB flash drive or insert the DVD on the PC where you want to install Windows 10.
- Restart your PC.
If your PC does not automatically boot to the USB or DVD media, you might have to open a boot menu or change the boot order in your PC’s BIOS or UEFI settings. To open a boot menu or change the boot order, you’ll typically need to press a key (such as F2, F12, Delete, or Esc) immediately after you turn on your PC. For instructions on accessing the boot menu or changing the boot order for your PC, check the documentation that came with your PC or go to the manufacturer’s website. If you do not see the USB or DVD media device listed within the boot options, you may need to reach out to the PC manufacturer for instructions for temporarily disabling Secure Boot in your BIOS settings.
If changing the boot menu or order doesn’t work, and your PC immediately boots into the OS you want to replace, it is possible the PC had not fully shut down. To ensure the PC fully shuts down, select the power button on the sign-in screen or on the Start menu and select Shut down.
- On the Install Windows page, select your language, time, and keyboard preferences, and then select Next.
- Select Install Windows.
Additional methods for using the ISO file to install Windows 10 (click to show more or less information)
If you downloaded an ISO file for Windows 10, the file is saved locally at the location you selected. If you have a third-party DVD burning program installed on your computer that you prefer to use for creating the installation DVD, that program might open by going to the location where the file is saved and double-clicking the ISO file, or right-click the ISO file, select Open with and choose your preferred DVD burning software.
If you want to use the Windows Disk Image Burner to create an installation DVD, go to the location where the ISO file is saved. Right-click the ISO file and select Properties. On the General tab, click Change and select Windows Explorer for the program you would like to use to open ISO files and select Apply. Then right-click the ISO file and select Burn disc image.
If you want to install Windows 10 directly from the ISO file without using a DVD or flash drive, you can do so by mounting the ISO file. This will perform an upgrade of your current operating system to Windows 10.
To mount the ISO file:
- Go to the location where the ISO file is saved, right-click the ISO file and select Properties.
- On the General tab, click Change… and select Windows Explorer for the program you would like to use to open ISO files and select Apply.
- Right-click the ISO file and select Mount.
- Double-click the ISO file to view the files within. Double-click setup.exe to start Windows 10 setup.

In this article, we will walk you through the process of obtaining the Media Creation Tool and show you how to make the most of its powerful features.
The Windows 10 Media Creation Tool is a simple utility that empowers you to upgrade your Windows. Originally designed for updating your current OS to the latest version, it has since become a go-to tool for manual Windows 10 updates too.

Before you go ahead and upgrade or update your PC via the Media Creation Tool, make sure that your PC and programs meet all the conditions below:

- Make sure that your hardware drivers have been updated. It is essential that the chipset, audio, network, USB, and graphic drivers, in particular, are up to date. This will help prevent compatibility issues during and after the upgrade.

- Disconnect all peripheral devices from the computer before starting the upgrade process. This will help avoid possible interference that can stop updates from installing correctly.

- Back up your important data to an external hard drive or the cloud. This will prevent data loss if something goes wrong and all your files are lost. You can also create a full system image of your current Windows version and back it up.

The process may take a while. If your computer uses an SSD as primary storage, the upgrade will take less time to finish. Your computer will boot up a couple of times during the upgrade.

Once this is done, you will have a bootable USB drive or an ISO file containing Windows 10. The upgrade process will run as described previously.

This license is linked to the device, so you can update your PC or reinstall Windows 10 on it using this method as many times as you like.
Windows 10 might run a bit slowly on older computers – and understandably so, since those PCs are optimized for older versions of Windows. Using an ancient PC after an upgrade can be mildly frustrating, especially if old files and apps were kept.

Переустанавливать Windows можно разными способами. Кто-то создает загрузочный носитель через прожиг диска или записывает образ на флешку. Один из способов создания носителя для установки ОС — использование специального инструмента Media Creation Tool.
Что это такое
Media Creation Tool — специальный инструмент, с помощью которого можно создать носитель USB или DVD для установки Windows на компьютер. По сути, это программа, которая собирает все файлы ОС в одном месте и превращает ваш накопитель в готовый загрузчик, который достаточно подключить к ПК.
Источник: Pureinfotech / Интерфейс Media Creation Tool
При этом с помощью Media Creation Tool вы также можете обновить систему. Для этого не нужно будет даже использовать флешку или диск, достаточно загрузить в программу образ Windows.
Создание загрузчика
Чтобы создать загрузочный носитель, нужно несколько важных компонентов:
- Флэш-накопитель или DVD-диск с достаточным количеством места (не менее 16 ГБ), но для Win 10 и 11 желательно использовать флэшку, так как не все ПК и ноутбуки новых поколений имеют дисковод;
- Компьютер или ноутбук на базе Windows;
- Хорошее соединение с Интернетом.
Источник: Fossbytes / Загрузочная флэшка Windows 10
Также не забудьте сохранить файлы с флэшки или диска, если вы планируете сделать из них носитель для ОС. Все дело в том, что даже если объема будет с запасом, доступа к нему после прошивки у вас не будет, а все файлы просто удалятся.
Чтобы скачать Media Creation Tool Windows 10, перейдите на официальный сайт Microsoft и нажмите на кнопку «Скачать средство сейчас». Также вам понадобится образ системы, если программа не сможет скачать его самостоятельно. Для Windows 10 вы также можете загрузить его с официального сайта по ссылке выше, а для того, чтобы заполучить образ WIndows 11, перейдите на эту страницу сайта: Media Creation Tool Windows 11.
Источник: Lumpics.ru / Настройка Media Creation Tool
Если почему-то не выходит скачать средство через кнопку, проверьте раздел «Другие варианты скачивания», там есть альтернативные ссылки.
Прошивка
Итак, вы все подготовили. Пора переходить к прошивке носителя. Вам нужно загрузить файлы на него с помощью программы.
Вот как это сделать:
- Установите Media Creation Tool и запустите его;
- Нажмите кнопку «Создать установочный носитель для другого компьютера» и кликните «Далее»;
- Выберите язык, год выпуска и архитектуру системы (32- или 64-разрядную), советуем при этом ориентироваться на ранее установленную на ПК версию Windows, если она была, чтобы избежать проблем;
- Подключите к ПК накопитель, который вы хотите использовать в качестве носителя;
- Выберите «Флэш-накопитель USB» и подтвердите действие.
Источник: iXBT.com / Создание загрузочной флэшки
После этого программа самостоятельно создаст загрузочную флэшку из подключенного накопителя. Во время выполнения задачи советуем не трогать ПК и просто дать ему спокойно завершить процесс. Время создания будет зависеть от скорости вашего Интернета и мощности компьютера. В конце кликните по кнопке «Готово».
Установка системы
Теперь, когда ваш носитель готов, можно ставить систему на нужный ПК или ноутбук. Для этого убедитесь, что он выключен и подключите к нему флэшку. После этого следуйте инструкции:
- Включите ПК и зажмите на клавиатуре клавишу F12, чтобы открыть меню однократной загрузки;
- Выберите загрузку с накопителя и переведите ПК в меню установки Windows;
- Настройте параметры системы (язык, время, валюту, раскладку клавиатуры и так далее);
- Установите Windows как обычно;
- Выберите вариант «У меня нет ключа продукта», чтобы позднее активировать ОС самостоятельно.
Источник: yakimankagbu.ru / Установка Windows
По умолчанию Windows установится на диск C, а если вы хотите изменить путь, то вам нужно выбрать вариант «Выборочная установка». После окончания процесса ПК перезагрузится и вам останется только обновить драйвера и поставить нужные программы.
Теперь вы знаете, что такое Media Creation Tool и для чего он используется, а значит, вы сможете легко создать себе накопитель для установки Windows на ПК.

Microsoft has an extremely useful Windows 10 tool you may never have heard of. However, if you want to upgrade a PC or do a completely clean install, it’s the best thing you can use.
It’s called the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool and its sole purpose is to prepare installations of the latest version either to upgrade your current PC or build a USB flash drive to perform a clean install of Windows 10.
The Media Creation Tool is free and extremely easy to use. Here’s all you need to know.
The Windows 10 Media Creation Tool is a perfect way to make sure you have the latest version installed on your PC.
It’s really easy to use and all you need is to set aside some time to allow it to download the necessary files from Microsoft.
On your Windows 10 PC, first download the Media Creation tool. The beauty of using it is that you only need this single download, nothing else is required as it will download the correct image for you.
You can get the Media Creation Tool directly from Microsoft, and it’s not a large download so won’t take long to be finished. You don’t have to install it, either, as it’ll run as a standalone application, which means you can transfer it between machines easily.
Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.
Once downloaded you can use the Media Creation Tool to create a bootable flash drive to use on another PC or for a completely clean install. Alternatively, you can use it to upgrade your current PC to the latest version of Windows 10.
Open up the Media Creation Tool on your PC. Select the option to ‘Create installation media for another PC’ and accept the license terms. The next stage involves choosing a language, edition, and architecture for Windows 10.
The edition will need to match whatever you have a license for, and in most cases, the architecture will be fine as x64. You only need to choose both or x86 if you know you’re going to use it on a 32-bit machine.
Hit the ‘Next’ button, choose the ‘USB Flash Drive’ option, then select your flash drive from the list. Hit ‘Next’ one more time, then ‘Finish’ and the tool will begin the process of downloading Windows 10 and creating the USB installation drive.
Windows Update should deliver the latest versions of Windows 10 to your PC, but it’s not always the quickest at doing so. If you want to have the latest and greatest, the Media Creation Tool is one of the best ways to get it.
Open up the Media Creation Tool on your PC. Select the option to ‘Upgrade this PC now’ and click ‘Next’. The Media Creation Tool will now begin downloading Windows 10 to your PC.
When the download is complete and the tool is ready to install Windows 10, you’ll have the chance to decide what you want to keep. Click ‘Change what you want to keep’ and you’ll be given options to keep everything, keep only your files, or to keep nothing at all and do a fresh install.
When you’re happy with your choice, click ‘Install’ and the Windows 10 installation process will begin.
Summary
Whatever the reason you need to do a complete installation of Windows 10, the Media Creation Tool is one of the easiest ways to do it. Windows Update can sometimes lag behind in rolling out newer versions, but the Media Creation Tool is a quick way around that.
It’s also perfect for building a USB flash drive to install Windows 10 on another machine, and as it works in the background you can go about your normal day while it does its thing.
