How to download Windows 11 using MediaCreationTool.bat script

<!–

–>

Although you can download the Windows 11 installation files using the official Media Creation Tool and even download the ISO file directly from the Microsoft website, you can also use third-party tools like MediaCreationTool.bat.

MediaCreationTool.bat is a wrapper script that allows you to download the most recent to the oldest version of Windows 11 or Windows 10 to create a USB flash drive, ISO file, or you can use it to auto-start the setup process.

The tool even includes a script you can execute to apply specific Registry changes to your current installation to bypass the TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, CPU, and any other requirements that may prevent you from upgrading your computer.

In this guide, you will learn the steps to use the MediaCreationTool.bat script to download the Windows 11 installation files.
