upgrade Win 8 to 10 - Thai OS with English Media Creation Tool

[mitebbots]

after a few days of cleaning and getting the old Win 8 laptop ready, ran into roadblock. 

 

doing all this remotely, or I would just format and install Windows 10.

 

Thai Win 8 OS doesn't like the English Media Creation Tool I guess. 

 

Thanks for any ideas. 

 

 

Edit: going to try this in the morning:

 

3. Click "Administrative" Tap then click "change system locale" 

4. Choose United State if you want English (US). Then. click OK and restart your computer

5. Update your windows again, using Media Creation Tool 

6. Choose Update This PC Now Then, follow the step in the windows 10 installation.

7. Your new Windows 10 will have English as a display language.

No go. I changed everything in Region and Language to English and still get this message. 

 

Any insight on this? 

 

Thanks

Have you really changed System Locale to English?

View the System Locale settings for Windows

1. Click Start, then Control Panel.
2. Click Clock, Language and Region.
3. Windows 10, Windows 8: Click Region. ...
4. Click the Administrative tab. ...
5. Under the Language for non-Unicode programs section, click Change system locale and select the desired language.
6. Click OK.

Then do a restart and it should work. 

 

P.S. What version of W 8 are you running?

 

MS has single language programs that might not work. 

 

If that's impossible, you buy a cheap W 10 key on e-bay and you can easily do the setup.

Make sure you create media for "another PC" and create an ISO

 

Save the .ISO somewhere and then mount it by right clicking.

 

Then run the installer from the virtual DVD.

Don't you think it's better to boot it from a USB stick?

 

   The best alternative would be Rufus:

No.

 

The OP said he was trying to do it remotely.

 

A fresh install from a USB stick isn't going to work in this case.

Okay, sorry. Didn't recall it. No idea how that works remotely.

I recently used this method to remotely upgrade two Windows 7 laptops via Team Viewer. Should work on Windows 8 as well.
*Note: I did need someone local to accept the EULA in order for the machines to reboot.
