I get the following error when I click on ‘Continue’ after selecting
Windows 10 and the latest release/edition: Error: The underlying
connection was closed. An unexpected error occurred on a send. Any idea
what this is about and how to fix it?

In reply to Mauro. Yes, when I ran Rufus again to format as MBR the dropdown showed and I could select DOWNLOAD. I didn't, since I already had the ISO. Anyway, it has now all worked, finally, so I hope your info and my comments may help someone else.

In reply to Sarah. Strange, seeing this comment, I went to the Rufus website, downloaded the latest version, and I can see and use the download option to get Windows 10. Thanks,

Thanks for the pointers!

Rufus now (June 2019) no longer has a Download option. I followed your instructions to obtain the ISO and it is happily loading that.

Hopefully will now be able to get my replacement SSD running. Failed with the Media Creation tool, failed with ISO on DVD (driver missing issue, changing SATA to ATA didn’t help), now trying with USB formatted by Rufus… Uh oh – another hurdle: need to change partition to MBR, trying again…

Dell Precision M6600; original SSD failed.
