How do I resume install of Win10 after power outage and July 29

Hello windowssh blog,

During the install of Win10 on July 29 there was a power outage. The first retry was successful using the Media Creation Tool on the 30th then another outage that interrupted the download the same evening. I tried to resume using the Media Creation Tool on the 31st...its not working. The msg regarding the MCT is "there was a problem starting Setup..."

Please provide me with assistance to finish this process. The time period gap in attempting to resume is because I am updating my small office computer that is away from my home.

Just trying it now with an activated 8.1 home version I had in a vm.

I tried the assistative website (I am a deaf hearing aid user so I legimately count), but it crapped out at last minute and rolled back.

As I suspected, it's just a completely untrue rumour, that's all, not valid information which comes pretty clear already reading that thread and especially when checking the links provided.

Using the assistive technology offer without qualifying is against the spirit of the offer and thus piracy - This forum does not condone piracy in any form and members have already been banned for suggesting this option
