    Yes. Windows 10 installation media can be created with Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool.

    Steps:

    1. Go to the Download Windows 10 site.
    2. Under Create Windows 10 Installation Media, select Download Now to download MediaCreationTool.exe.
    3. Run MediaCreationTool.exe and follow the prompts to create the installation media.

    Requirements:

    • A working PC with a reliable internet connection.
    • A blank USB flash drive with at least 8 GB of space. Any content on the USB drive is deleted.
    • A product key might be needed in some cases, but it is not required for digital licenses. On many modern devices, the product key is embedded in firmware and is applied automatically if it matches the Windows version and edition being installed.

    Important:

    • Back up files first before installing or reinstalling Windows.
    • If using the media for a clean install, it removes personal files, apps, and settings.
    • Windows 10 support ended on October 14, 2025. The PC can still run Windows 10, but Microsoft no longer provides free software updates from Windows Update, technical assistance, or security fixes.

    If the goal is to reinstall on the old PC, create the USB on a working PC, connect it to the old PC, boot from the USB, and start Windows Setup.
