Has anyone done this?
I am having to replace a clapped out HDD on a laptop which had an updated W10 installed.....this for a friend.
Have advised her and she has agreed a new SSD will replace it, she is on holiday for another week so can do nothing now, In the meantime have been doing some thinking.
I know before installing I should disable Secure Boot and Fast Boot, set SATA Controller in Bios to AHCI, and ascertain SSD formatted UEFI.
Have opened up her laptop before she went on holiday, straightforward swopping of discs.
Have since downloaded a W10 Media Creation Tool to a DVD on my own computer expressly for another computer, which only has a very small footprint of 17,831KB, so obviously this will need an internet connection to be able to install the complete O/S.
The question I need answering is "Does the Media Creation Tool" OPEN UP ACCESS TO THE INTERNET?
As there is no O/S system on the computer....just a blank SSD.
And if not HOW can I gain access?
