I'm guessing he went here, https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows/get-windows-10 Get Windows 10

Which is not, and never was, the Media Creation Tool.

Correctamundo. He was trying to convince me in earlier in this thread that Microsoft was going to pull the MCT as soon as the free upgrade was over. IMHO, I don't see that happening.

If I go here, http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/softw...load/windows10 I get the same options I always have? Update Now and Download Tool Now?

Product key required first at the page there. But that wasn't the page being referred to being found at the download center but the other most commonly seen Get 10 page now changed to show Purchase 10.

I think its already been answered but I asked originally so I'll reply. Looks like a version miss match to me. You should have used the non Single Language ISO. At the Moment its just called Windows 10 and is Multi edition, Home and Pro.
I just went here, http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/softw...load/windows10 and the MCT is still working. I downloaded the Tool and Ran it.

The big mistake made going with the Single Language edition is not only language but 32bit Windows only! That doesn't come in any 64bit flavor. Unless you are only planning to run the 32bit OS you would avoid that option entirely.

There is no requirement to enter a key to download an ISO from the link I posted. And SL can be obtained in 64 bit version.



EDIT: The upgrade now option might require a key, but the Download Tool now Option doesn't.

I find unsolved mysteries disturbing.
Thanks NavyLCDR & alphanumeric.

If you run winver, or open a Command Prompt (Admin) [right click on the start icon] and run slmgr /dlv in the command prompt windows, I'll bet you don't see anything about Single Language edition listed in the version you have activated.

You are correct. :)

I see what happened now.
I checked to see what version of W10 was equivalent to W7 Home Premium (which was Home).
When I was selecting the options the only one that displayed "Home", was "Windows 10 Home Single Language".

Incorrect.
I downloaded the 32 bit ISO and the 64 bit ISO.

Agreed.
When I ran the MCT (about an hour ago) that is what I saw too.
