[Solved] Media Creation Tool Error 0x80072F8F–0x20000 in Windows 7

If your are still getting the same issue check this video:

Users report receiving the 0x80072F8F – 0x20000 error code when trying to upgrade. Some suggest that the error is related to TLS security protocols. Some may have an older version – TLS 1.0, which is no longer suitable.

Step 1. Install missing update
An update KB3140245 allows you to enable TLS 1.2 protocol, as a Windows upgrade would not work otherwise. If your device is missing this update, it will result in an error when trying to upgrade. Note: this is for Windows 7 and 8 users only.

Step 2. Enable TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2
Download and Install Microsoft EasyFix to Enable TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2.

Thank You for Watching !!

Thank you for the video. I had almost given up on the upgrade until I found this video. Worked like a charm! Thanks again.

Thank you Sir! I had a old laptop laying around that I had not used in over 4 years. It came with windows 7. I wanted to upgrade to windows 10 using the media creation tool because I despise windows 11. I kept running into 0x80072F8F–0x20000 error. Your fix worked, thank you!

Sir I can't even open the media creation tool to begin with, waited for more than a minute. Also the windows update package says "not applicable to your computer" please help!

so when i pressed on unblock in forgot to press apply before pressing ok, when i went to press it again it was gone
so it did not work

I deleted it and re downloaded it again followed the steps, also did not work
