Window Upgrade Media Creation Tool - error code 0X80072F8F - 0X20000

While trying to upgrade from Window 7 to Window 10 using Media Creation Tool (MediaCreationTool22H2.exe). I got an error message : It says to reference the error code 0X80072F8F - 0X20000.

Media Creation Tool - error code 0X80072F8F - 0X20000 Solution :

Since Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) still has the more recent TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 security protocols disabled by default, the MediaCreationTool21H2.exe fails immediately with this error code because the server it attempts to communicate with no longer supports the older TLS 1.0 security standard. The Media Creation Tool - problem code 0X80072F8F - 0X20000 disappeared after I ran the "Easy repair 51044" MSI to allow the newest TLS versions.

Because the more recent operating system that boots from the installation ISO image will not have the TLS-version limitation, utilising that ought to be an additional solution to the same problem.
