no...

you use the media creation tool to load windows ISO onto a USB drive

then you install windows from the usb

you dont "plug it in and it works"

you need to look up some tutorials on how to install windows because you dont sound like you know what the heck youre doing...

HEY. Is there any good buying Windows 10 from g2a and kinguin.net, and if I download the MediaCreationTool do I get free Windows???

If you download from g2a,kinguin or r/microsoftsoftwareswap you will get a key, using media creation tool it will prompt you to an activation part, in which you put your code in and you should be good to go

So, when I buy from g2a and kinguin, I also download the media creation tool, and just put in the code?

what you buy is the product key to activate windows

 

the media creation tool merely provides you with windows that isnt activated yet, you require the product key to activate windows after you install it

 

steps:

buy key from g2a or kinguin and create a boot device with media creation tool -> install windows -> acivate when prompted -> continue to install -> ??? -> profit

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

No no...make an image on the USB drive using rufus or something, and then plug it into the new computer. 

 

Change boot order. 

 

get into windows and then activate it using the key

When lyfe gives you HDDs, make SSDs
