After many attempts I have got the media creation tool to work. Hurrah! However, when I select 'Create installation media (USB flash drive, DVD or ISO file) for another PC' it defaults to looking for fee space on C: and does not seem to recognise the SD card which I can clearly access from the PC already. Help please?
There is no poption to unblock. We appear to be going round in circles! Ther must be somebody in Microsoft who can fix this issue. Clearly, Microsoft do not give a damn!
