In reply to Usman Khurshid. Can you please elaborate on this. Are you saying that I will not get the Activate Windows message at the bottom right of my screen if I install Windows 10 Version 1903 or how would I have to activate Windows?

In reply to stephen. Product keys are not required for downloading or installing Windows 10. Windows 10 comes with an unlimited trial so you can activate Windows 10 any time you want. Otherwise, it'll keep on working in trial mode.

this article does not give the 1909 version file. It just has a link to Microsoft site and wants to download version 2004. Defeating the purpose of this page. I specifically wanted 1909 as a backup in case of problems with 2004

In reply to AC.

1- You need the USB inserted until Windows 10 is fully installed.
2- No. You only need it when you want to install Windows from the bootable USB.
3- You will need to setup the Wifi when Windows 10 is fully installed. The setup will ask for the Internet connection itself.

Hello,

I’ve been trying to update from Windows Ultimate to Windows 10 using Media Creation Tool 1909. I ran into the following error:

0x0070005 – 0x2000A
The installation failed in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during PREPARE_FIRST_BOOT operation

I’ve done some research and made sure ALL Windows updates are current, I’ve disabled the firewall, set to “Clean Boot” (msconfig), and still get the error listed above. Now Im removing all files from the USB and formatting before replacing the MCT1909.

1. Can you let me know if I need to leave the USB with MCT1909 in the USB port until the Windows 10 is installed or do I remove it a certain point in the process.

2. Prior to launching MCT1909 do I need to set my laptop to boot from USB?

3. Since I set the MSConfig to Clean Boot (only Microsoft) do I need to select wifi also because I have to manually start my internet connection as part of clean boot? I’ve read not having internet connection automatic is preferred during the process, it will do what it needs to do online before restarting.

Is the process somehow easier If I just burn the iso to a DVD and do it that way? Would I need to make it boot to CD/DVD drive?

I truly appreciate any guidance you can offer, thanks in advance.

You should use a tool like Stellerphoenix data recovery for Windows to boot and recover your lost partition. Please make sure you don’t write or overwrite anything on your hard drive as this will delete the already existing data and will make it harder to recover it.
