The subject is the question. I'm not sure. The Creation Tool itself gets updated, i.e. it has a version number and will download that version. Never tried an older Creation Tool to download Win10 once a new Win10 came out, I've always re-downloaded the Creation Tool... Regards, -- ! _\|/_ Sylvain / !

The subject is the question. Obviously they need an identifier inside, as how will the Win7 one know it's downloading Win7, while the Win10 one knows it is downloading Win10 ? There has to be some "SKU magic" inside :-) https://s13.postimg.org/yjj7pjy7b/me...ol_hexedit.gif Each one seems to have details inside it. Report back if you see any "disturbing trends" :-) Paul |

... The subject is the question. Each time MSFT releases a new major version e.g. 1709(Fall Creators), 1703(Creators), 1607(Anniversary), 1511(November), 1507(RTM initial released version) the tool has been updated thus downloading and running the executable will provide the latest current version(1709). The Media Creation Tool(MCT) executable(MediaCreationTool.exe) is version specific, but not necessarily build specific. The version of the MCT exe determines which version of Windows 10 will be downloaded. Note: If one did save and archive an earlier version of the MCT exe file then running that executable will download and create media(or an ISO) for that earlier version. e.g. of an earlier MCT version - the MediaCreationTool.exe for 1703 has a file version of 10.0.15063.0 which will create 1703(Creators Update) version media. Once media is created and used to install Windows 10, it would still be necessary to install the latest Servicing Stack Update and latest Cumulative Update to bring Windows 10 up to the current 'build' version. -- -- ....w¡ñ§±¤ñ msft mvp 2007-2016, insider mvp 2016-2018 |
