虽然您可以直接下载 Windows 10 ISO^{(download Windows 10 ISO)}或Windows 11 ISO文件，但您可以使用媒体创建工具^{(Media Creation Tool)}下载Windows 10或Windows 11 ，并为运行^{(Windows 11)}Windows 11和Windows 10的客户提供最佳下载体验。

Windows 安装媒体工具

要下载Windows 安装媒体工具，请^{(Windows Installation Media Tool)}在此处^(here)(Windows 10) 或此处^(here)( Windows 11 )访问Microsoft.com ，然后向下滚动，直到看到两个紫色的立即下载工具^{(Download Tool Now)}按钮。

Windows Media Creation Tool将允许您直接从Microsoft下载^(Microsoft)Windows 11/10 ISO，而无需产品密钥。您可以使用它进行全新安装或升级到Windows 11/10。它可用于下载以下版本的Windows Windows 11/10– Windows Home、Windows Home N、Windows Home Single Language、Windows Pro和Windows Pro N。

该工具包括针对下载速度优化的文件格式、用于USB^(USB)和DVD^(DVDs)的内置媒体创建选项，并允许选择转换为ISO文件格式。该工具有两个版本可用——32 位版本和 64 位版本。下载相应版本的工具并运行它。

当您运行该工具时，它会在您的系统分区上创建两个目录 - $WINDOWS.~BT和$Windows.~WS。这些文件夹包含下载的设置和安装文件，以及在创建过程失败时恢复创建过程的选项。

当您单击它运行该工具时，您将看到以下屏幕，询问您是否要立即升级此 PC^{(Upgrade this PC)}或为另一台 PC 创建安装介质^{(Create installation media for another PC)}。

如果您单击为另一台 PC 创建安装媒体，^{(Create installation media for another PC, )}您将看到一个屏幕，要求您选择要使用的媒体。您可以使用^{(use a USB Flash Drive)}至少 3 GB 的 USB 闪存驱动器，或者您可以创建一个ISO文件，如果您愿意，可以稍后将其刻录到DVD 。我选择创建一个ISO 文件^{(ISO file)}。

无论如何，单击Next后， ^(Next)Windows 11/10的下载将开始。

该工具将很快自动开始创建Windows 11/10媒体。

ISO文件准备好后，您将看到两个选项。一种是打开ISO文件的保存位置，另一种是打开DVD 刻录机^{(DVD Burner)}软件将ISO刻录到光盘。

我选择打开ISO文件夹并运行其中的安装文件以执行我的Windows OS的就地升级。

升级过程很顺利，除了一件事……

安装 Windows 时发生了一些事情

我收到了“发生^{(Something Happened)}了一些事情”错误屏幕。我关闭屏幕并重新启动设置。它起作用了，我能够顺利地将 Windows 8.1 升级到Windows 10。

另一方面，如果您在第一个屏幕中选择升级这台电脑^{(Upgrade This PC)}，如上所述，然后单击下一步^(Next)，您将看到以下屏幕。

选择您的Language、架构和版本，然后单击Next。升级过程将直接开始。

Media Creation Tool: Create Installation Media or Upgrade PC

Although you can directly download Windows 10 ISO or Windows 11 ISO file, you can use the Media Creation Tool to download Windows 10 or Windows 11 and provides the best download experience for customers running Windows 11 and Windows 10.

Windows Installation Media Tool

To download the Windows Installation Media Tool, visit Microsoft.com here (Windows 10) or here (Windows 11) and scroll down till you see two purple Download Tool Now buttons.

The Windows Media Creation Tool will allow you to download the Windows 11/10 ISO directly from Microsoft, without having a product key. You can use it to clean install or Upgrade to Windows 11/10. It can be used to download the following editions of Windows 11/10 – Windows Home, Windows Home N, Windows Home Single Language, Windows Pro and Windows Pro N.

The tool includes file formats optimized for download speed, built-in media creation options for USB & DVDs, and allows for optional conversion to ISO file format. There are two versions of the tool available – a 32-bit version and a 64-bit version. Download the appropriate version of the tool and run it.

When you run the tool, it creates two directories on your system partition – $WINDOWS.~BT and $Windows.~WS. These folders contain the downloaded setup and installation files, and an option to resume the creation process if it fails.

When you click on it to run the tool, you will see the following screen asking you if you want to Upgrade this PC now or Create installation media for another PC.

If you click on Create installation media for another PC, you will see a screen asking you to choose the media to use. You may use a USB Flash Drive which is at least 3 GB, or you can create an ISO file, which you can burn to a DVD later if you wish. I chose to create an ISO file.

In any case, once you click on Next, the downloading of Windows 11/10 will start.

The tool will then soon automatically start creating Windows 11/10 media.

Once the ISO file is ready, you will see two options. One is to open the location where the ISO file has been saved and the other to Open a DVD Burner software to burn the ISO to disc.

I chose to open the ISO folder and run the setup file inside it to perform an in-place upgrade of my Windows OS.

The upgrade process went smoothly, except for one thing…

Something happened when installing Windows

I received a Something Happened error screen. I closed the screen and restarted the setup. It worked, and I was able to smoothly upgrade Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.

If on the other hand, you select Upgrade This PC in the first screen, as mentioned above, and click on Next, you will see the following screen.

Select your Language, architecture, and edition and click Next. The upgrade process will begin directly.

TIP: See this post if you receive any Windows Media Creation Tool Errors.
