What is your intention with Media Creation Tool ?
Are you planning to install Windows 10 over your Windows 7 Home Premium ?
Open the Media Creation Tool link again > scroll down toDownload Tool now and click the button.
click Run > select Create installation media for another PC
That will start downloading the iso to your computer.
Make sure you know where the download is going to be saved to.
After that, you have several choices:
1. Burn the iso file to a bootable dvd or usb, and use it for a Clean Install.
2. Use the iso file itself and do an In-place Upgrade Install.( use Step #7 )
Whichever way you decide, make sure you create a Win 7 Home Premium installation disc, or a set of Recovery disks.
That will be you "Plan B" in case things go awry.
Im trying to upgrade to win 10 from win 7 because my win 7 has a lot of problems and iv tried to fix them but i can't and i dont have a restore point or a installation disc and my os is OEM so i dont think i can install win 10 through a clean install because im not sure if my product key will work(Am i correct in saying that)Thats why i just wanted to upgrade so i didn't have to input a key.How can i create a plan B if i dont have a installation or recovery disc. Thanks alot.

I cannot say for every make and model running Windows 7.
In my Acer laptop which was preinstalled with Windows 7 Home Premium, there is an option to create a set of Factory Default disks. Mine requires 4 dvds.
Open your Windows 7 > left side, click All Programs.
Look for it. The terminology may be different, but the meaning( what it is for) should be obvious.
Is a system image the same as the factory things?I found this How to Create a Recovery Disk for a Dell Laptop Running Windows 8 - Data Recovery - Laptop Tech Support would it be that,and if so i wouldn't need to upgrade to win 10 if i could factory my win 7 no? I prefer win 7 anyways because i was only upgrading because i thought i had no other choice.Thanks a lot for taking the time to help me,im not very good with computers and your really helping my problem.

RE : Is a system image the same as the factory things?
No. Completely different.
System image is about "rolling back " the system to the condition when system image was created.
"factory thing" is to set the system back to the very FIRST time it was taken out from the packing box. The way it was when came out from the factory.
RE : I found this How to Create a Recovery Disk for a Dell Laptop Running Windows 8 - Data Recovery - Laptop Tech Support would it be that
Is your computer a Dell ?
You are running Win 7 . Yes ?
Don't use something that is not applicable to your computer.
I asked you to look for an option from All Programs list. Why don't you give it a go ?
RE : I prefer win 7 anyways because i was only upgrading because i thought i had no other choice.
I cannot find the tutorial compiled by our Admin, Brink.
So, I have to give you this tutorial instead...........................
