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

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.


Thanks for your patience, as the MCT tool seems to be superfluous since
MS already supplies an ISO, which is all you really ever need.

I have directly downloaded both the Win10 32-bit & 64-bit ISO files from:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/softw...d/windows10ISO

Here are the downloaded file names and sizes, if anyone needs them:
32-bit Win10 ISO, filename=Win10_English_x32.iso, filesize=2,298,314KB
64-bit Win10 ISO, filename=Win10_English_x64.iso, filesize=3,988,138KB


Your x32 one is corrupt. It's too small.

Load those up and test them, before declaring "success".

I received two corrupted downloads, this is how I know
there is a probability of corruption. Test your images
thoroughly.

When I tried to "view" my corrupt ISOs, I got a complaint
they didn't use a recognized standard. There was no other
warning the images were bad.
