I tried running the media creation tool:

http://i68.tinypic.com/nlzhhl.jpg ISO file choice

In passing here's the DVD-R, that
looks like the old style reel to
reel's. Pretty cool looking I think.

¡Ay, caramba! (denotes pain or surprise)

I do hope you've logged in using your Administrator account.

That's not what the error ( "0x8007139F - 0x90019" ) says by the way.

I can't find that error.

We'll need help from the logfiles. These two files
can be dropped onto an open copy of Notepad.

You can see a representation here, if my output
from MediaCreationTool1903.exe . I shut down this
VM while the Win10 ISO was downloading, to "simulate an error".

The logfiles really aren't that helpful, unless
by accident they blurt out the actual error!

Try to collect any information you can get from
there, that you feel is relevant.

You don't have to do a new run yet - just have
a look at the files first, before they're overwritten.

Yes, I was logged in as Administrator. I tried it once
but got to a point where it said it required administrator
account. So I switched users and logged in as Administrator.

I'm not sure what you want me to do
at this point? I went to the link
provided but am confused what I am
suppose to do? Do I run Win 10 update
repair tool and then download it?

I have no idea what would be relevant even if I saw it.
