![]() ![]() Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool is only for Windows. ![]() RELATED: What Is An ISO File (And How Do I Use Them)? Here’s how to download Windows ISOs without the creation tool. WIM you create to reduce the size (say using LZMS and solid packing), (4) rename your new file "install.wim", put it back into the extracted ISO files, and finally (5) use a tool like ImgBurn to create a new bootable DVD (if the new WIM is now small-enough).But I guess Windows 10 is only going to get bigger, and buying some dual-layer DVDs might just be an easier option - or a USB flash-drive, given you only need one of 8GB in size and they are ridiculously cheap thesedays (a 64GB one can be had over-here for around £8, including tax).Microsoft makes Windows 10 ISO images available to everyone through its download website, but if you’re already using a Windows machine, it forces you to download the Media Creation Tool first. In reply to YoWhadup:Yeah, it is a tad annoying an ISO for 64-bit 20H2, created using the Media Creation Tool, comes to around 4.7GB in size - too-big for a single-layer DVD.You could try a workaround of (1) downloading the regular ISO (which has "install.wim", not "install.esd"), (2) extract the specific SKU install-image you want from it (using something like DISM or GImageX) and (3) re-compress the new. Select the version you want, and the batch file will then run the Media Creation Tool, passing it the correct version to download. The batch file will run and a window will appear, letting you choose the version of the Windows 10 ISO to create. Then, open a Command Prompt (cmd.exe) and navigate to the folder with the batch file and the Media Creation Tool. (Let me know if you find the original source of this batch file, please.)Īnyway, you can download the batch file here, and if you’re worried about anything nefarious, just take a look at its source code as it’s a plain text file.Īfter you’ve got that, download the Media Creation Tool from the Microsoft website and put it in the same folder as the batch file. ![]() The batch file is attributed to someone identified only as BAU, though there’s no link. And thanks to DeskModder (via Ghacks) for tipping us off to this. ![]() Thanks to a new batch file, you can configure Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool to download any version of Windows 10, and not just the latest version. ![]()
