I usually am on my User Account when online but sometimes I have to go into the Administrator Account like if I need to go into disk management etc. So should I proceed? Thanks, Robert You could use the account that belongs to the administrator group, then re-run the MediaCreationTool program. It's likely the first account (OOBE) you installed. This time it should work. Paul I logged into my Administrator Account and started to get the media creation tool then it gave me a pop-up (attached) and asked if I wanted the following program to make changes to be made to my computer. That wasn't in your instructions so I canceled it. http://i68.tinypic.com/160xym9.jpg http://i68.tinypic.com/1089stl.jpg http://i68.tinypic.com/mu7h37.jpg Also every time I go into my Admin Account and then back to my User Account the pages have shrunk and I have to re-size them. Why does it do that? So should I proceed? Thanks, Robert The tool has two purposes: 1) Install an OS 2) Make media instead The (1) requires elevation, so they put up the UAC box. But your decision path, takes you along (2), and the program won't be making changes to your computer. It's just doing a download and that's it. So their "rather dumb" decision tree, looks like this. request elevation | | Now ask the user what they want to do | | (1) | | (2) | | Install Download ISO file an OS When they could have put things in a slightly different order. Don't let that UAC box stop you. Go ahead. Paul |

Staples started stocking Staples-brand, and then we have no idea what supplier makes the discs. Remembering that, most brands, are not made by the named companies. They just buy lots of blank discs from suppliers and put a fancy cake-box around them. I have some Ritek-branded cake boxes I can get here, but they're mail-order only and they don't keep them in the stores. Ritek did not market directly to consumers at one time, but it's a sign of how desperate the industry is, when a manufacturer actually puts their own name on the cake box. When Ritek first appeared in the store here, a stack of blanks were wrapped in Saran Wrap :-) It's hard to say in a case like that, exactly who was wrapping them that way :-) At one time, my computer store had 3 cubic yards of blanks on display, a huge brand selection. Today, it's maybe 0.5 cubic meters and crap like Philips. Philips of course, not actually making the discs, and they turned out to be CMC discs. Paul |

The marker is easy to remove with isopropyl alcohol, and so the jewel boxes keep getting re-used. In some cases, the thing your doing, is CD-sized, and using Imgburn, you can burn CD-sized projects on DVD media. So you will burn through that half-cakebox pretty quickly, relatively speaking. If you really need CDs (like for a music player in an old vehicle), then you'd "save" them for those sorts of occasions. As a result, I go through a lot more DVDs than CDs now. Paul |

Robert Just remember you'll be installing on a *spare* drive placed in the computer, to protect the *original* or *good* drive. If the COA sticker has a 25-character key on it (five groups of five), you can install on the spare while the spare is empty. And type in the key when prompted. You can clone the original drive to the spare drive, for cases where the COA sticker doesn't have a license key on it. The MediaCreationTool1903 can take care of most of your needs, and if you're patient, I think it offers to burn the DVD near the end. You select the option to "make media for another computer", to be able to make a DVD. The download prepared by the MediaCreationTool1903 is 3,967,483,904 bytes ( Win10 64bit mediacreation 1903 7OSes iso file ) The disc would include Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro, as well as five other versions. Windows 7 Pro can be promoted to Windows 10 Pro, as to how the choices work. You are preparing a DVD for this, because Windows 7 lacks an ISO mounter of its own. On later OSes, you can instead use a "mount" command to make a virtual DVD drive with the install materials on it. But Win7 is a bit backward, and doesn't have that feature. You don't generally use third-party ISO mounters for that, because they "confuse" DVD writer programs. I had one once and had to remove it, because of that behavior. HTH, Paul |
