PROBLEM (FINALLY) SOLVED!!! Just wanted to let you know we finally figured out why the data from the computer with the WIN Media Creation Tool was not uploading onto the thumb drive = FIREWALLS! Not sure if everyone will have this issue but working with Windows agent, I happened to see a pop-up window stating something about data scan not allowing completion of upload. Therefore, it is at times crucial to temporarily disable all Firewalls and Web Securities before starting the upload.
Follow Las Vegas Wire Man's instructions above to create a bootable USB Thumb Drive for newly replace hard drive with Windows10 OS. HOWEVER, the following was not mentione in his instructions and not all computers may need to do this extra step so keep the following in mind if your thumb drive is not completing the upload.
Again, to upload data I downloaded on the working comuter I had to a thumb drive, one must temporarily disable all security features on the working computer before completing the upload of the WIN Media Creation Tool files onto thumb drive process (this includes any private web virus software one may be using AND/OR the WIN Firewall and other security features available on the conduit computer.
I hope this helps those with similar issues.
Thank you again with all your help Las Vegas Wire Man!
Kind Regards,
Wes
