Solution
OK, first is this a USB stick (pen drive)? If so you are good there.

Does it have data on it? If it does, back it up, because the media creation tool is going to format it, make it bootable and copy the Windows 10 install files to it. So any data that is on it will be gone after the media creation tool is finished with it.

First step after running the tool is the Licensing Agreement, no choice here, you have to Accept Next it asks you if you wish to Upgrade this PC or Create installation media for another PC. Select the latter.

Now it asks you to select the version of Windows 10 installation media you want. It defaults to what it thinks you need for the PC you are building the media on. If the computer you are using to make...
Your link is for the same download. It downloads the media creation tool. Maybe follow your link and then follow mine. I think that if you are having this much difficulty understanding this, you should refrain from offering any advice.

My detailed description tells the OP how to make the USB stick, and how to download the ISO. Either way it's done from the media creation tool at the link I provided yesterday. That you have now provided some 18 hours later.
 
All I said was you gave her the same link I did. I wasn't arguing about a dvd or what you had told here to do. As for just formatting and installing, I'm betting the OP would like to avoid that if at all possible. A full clean install as you keep suggesting will wipe out any data on the machine she has if she just follows the normal procedure. Even if she manages to do a OS reset, then she has to re-install all her programs. This is a large undertaking. I'm trying to give her a chance of repairing her OS install and save her a bunch of time. Your advice is leading her down a path that will result in many hours of installing drivers, updates, and software.

First the OP needs to get the media. So let her do that, stop offering more "advice" until she's gotten that far.
