Not just an Universal MediaCreationTool wrapper script with ingenious support for business editions,  
<img src="preview.png">
A powerful yet simple windows 10 / 11 deployment automation tool as well!  

> configure via set vars, commandline parameters or rename script like `iso 21H2 Pro MediaCreationTool.bat`  
> recommended windows setup options with the least amount of issues on upgrades set via auto.cmd  
> awesome dialogs with keyboard focus to pick target version and preset action  

>1 **Auto Upgrade** with detected media, script assists setupprep for upgrading directly  
> _- can troubleshoot upgrade failing by adding `no_update` to script name_  

>2 **Make ISO** with detected media in `Downloads` folder directly  
> _- can override detected media by adding edition name / language / arch to script name_  

>3 **Make USB** with detected media in specified usb target    
> _- can click Back and select ISO instead to save in a different path_  

>4 **Select** with picked Edition, Language, Arch - on specified target  
> _- implicit choice, will include setup override files_  

>5 **MCT Defaults** with GUI selected media, makes vanilla, default MCT iso/usb  
> _- no added file, script passes products.xml and quits without touching media_  

>1-4 presets will add any setup override files to created media  
> _- can be disabled by adding `def` to script name_  
> _- write `$OEM$` folder (if it exists) with post setup tweaks like `$OEM$\$$\Setup\Scripts\setupcomplete.cmd`_  
> _- write `sources\PID.txt` to preselect edition at media boot or setup within windows (if configured)_  
> _- write `auto.cmd` to re-run upgrade from media on demand (includes Skip TPM Check on Dynamic Update)_  
> _- write `AutoUnattend.xml` to override 11 setup checks on media boot (and enable local account on Home)_  
> _- patch `winsetup.dll` in boot.wim for booting 11 in VirtualBox 5.x (with optional FIX arg)_    


> Skip TPM Check on Dynamic Update v3 _(ifeo-based, no cmd window)_ standalone toggle script in `MCT` dir  
> _- system-wide, unblocks insider previews on windows update, or running setup.exe manually while online_  
> _- when using created media on another pc for the first time, can launch `auto.cmd` from media once to enable_  

_Saving the Raw file no longer breaks line endings_  
_Don't need to right-click Run as Admin, script will ask itself when needed_  
_We did it! We broke [the previous gist](https://git.io/MediaCreationTool.bat)_ ;) So this is the new home now.  
**Thank you all!**
