Oh. I think I understand now. Does that mean that the Media Creation Tool
is just a DVD burner that puts the ISO on a dvd disc (just like what
ImgBurn does)?


The MCT is a tool (a *.exe file when run) that provides the ability to
download the Win10 media and initiate the upgrade of a qualifying o/s to
Win10 or create stand-alone media usb/dvd that can be used to upgrade a
qualifying o/s at a later point in time.

Once a device is upgraded to Windows 10, that same created MCT media
(Usb/dvd) can then also be used to perform a clean install of Windows 10
on that same Win 10 device.
