Microsoft released Windows 11 23H2 in the last week of October, but users could not get it through the media creation tool. The company promised to fix it by mid-November and delivered on time. You can use it now.

He Media creation tool Yippee an internal Windows tool that facilitates media creation to be able to perform “clean” installations of the system, update any computer compatible with previous versions of Windows 11 or migrate from Windows 10. For ordinary users, this may be the easiest way, since it downloads the ISO image of the system and burns it to a USB flash drive or DVD. And all this at the click of a button, in the same operation, automatically and without the need for external applications.

Of course, if you want more flexibility and control when creating a Windows installer, in addition to being able to skip some mandatory Windows 11 requirements, we recommend that you download the ISO separately and burn it using external applications such as Rufus.

Windows 11 23H2 with Media Creation Tool

To create a medium in this way, some previous aspects must be taken into account. one of them is have a physical support that we will use, whether it is a USB drive with a capacity of at least 8 GB (most recommended) or a DVD optical medium. Save the data it contains because the drive will be formatted and you will lose all the data you have stored on it.

The second consideration is related to the Windows 11 requirements. We talked about them at length with you. Microsoft recommends installing Windows 11 only on compatible computers, but the reality is that you can install it on anyone because requirements can be easily skipped (especially if you use Rufus). Finally, if you are going to install on a new computer without an operating system, or on an old one that did not previously have Windows 10/11, you will need the corresponding license.

Once the above considerations are resolved, The process is really simple as you will see in this step by step:

• Go to the official website to download Windows 11. Here you will see three different options, update wizard, create installation media or directly download the disc image.

• As for us, we are interested in the second option, which allows you to download a media creation tool to create a bootable USB or DVD.
• Click ‘Download Now’ and you will get the file ‘MediaCreationTool_Win11_23H2.exe’. Run it and accept the license terms.
• Select language and edition.

• Select the medium you want to use, such as a USB flash drive.

• Select the drive you want to use if you have more than one on your computer.

• The tool downloads the latest version of Windows and creates installation media.

We insist that creating media by downloading only the ISO and using Rufus to burn the media is faster and includes options not available in the official tool. But if you want to use this media creation tool, you will see that it is really simple.
