Microsoft Media Creation Tool

    The Microsoft Media Creation Tool used to create USB media for installing operating systems has options when creating the media to choose 32bit, 64bit or Both.

    I assume the "Both" option will create the USB media which will allow you to install either 32 or 64bit from the same USB key?

    My question is,

    When creating the media for Windows 10 using the "Both" option, does it ask you to point to two ISO's, a 32bit one & a 64bit one?

    The MCT downloads the ISOs itself, no user interaction required.

    So will it put both 32 & 64bit on the same USB key or will it carry out two operations requiring two USB keys?

    I've never bothered, but I assume it creates a 64 with a few added files for option 32B install. Nobody should be using 32 anyways.
