How to Windows 10 Installation?

Want to put a new copy of Windows 10 on your computer? You can easily install Windows 10 from an installation disc or a USB flash drive, even if you’re using a different operating system or setting up a new PC. Even faster, you don’t need a flash drive or DVD to upgrade from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. This trackerror will show you how to install Windows 10 on any PC or upgrade to it.

Requirements for Windows 10 Installation

At least one disc drive, ideally one that has yet to be deleted. Here are the minimum machine needs.
A working USB Drive that is at least 8 GB.
A computer that works and can connect to the Internet so that you can download Windows and make a usable disc.

You don’t need a working computer to make the installation disc if you already have a DVD or USB key.

Even if you don’t need to make a setup disc, you still have to go through the steps to set up Windows 10.

The setup for the special software that comes with prebuilt computers might add or change a few steps, but the idea is still the same.

Windows 10 Installation: Step-by-Step Guide with Pictures

Here are all of the steps for Windows 10 Installation, from the beginning to the end. Even if you don’t know enough about computers, this guide will help you run Windows 10 or any other Windows operating system.

Put the working DVD or USB disc into your computer’s optical drive or USB port. When the computer tries to open the Boot Manager screen, press the F8 key more than once.

Note: If you have a tower case, plug the USB drive into one of the ports on the back. During the installation process, USB ports on the front panel can cause a lot of trouble.

Choose the block of the drive that has the Windows 10 software on it. Some drives could appear more than once. If so, I suggest you pick the version that uses EFI or UEFI. That is the most up-to-date way to run Windows 10, and you can’t change it without restarting Windows.

Press any key to boot from the CD or DVD… shows as a warning. Doing so will start the process of installing Windows 10 and show the Windows 10 logo.

Step one is to choose “Install now.” You can also choose to have your computer fixed. We won’t do that anymore.

Next, we’ll choose the language of the display, the style of the time and money, and the shape of the computer. You can mix and match these however you want and don’t have to match the real place where you’ll be using the PC or the actual layout of the computer. You can change them if you need to after the launch.

The next step is to enter the product key for Windows 10. If you want to use Windows later, you can skip this step. I’ve already looked into what happens if you keep using Windows without activating it.

If it doesn’t, make sure you put in the right code.

Choose the type of Windows you want to run. It must be the same as the product key you entered before, or Windows won’t work. If you want to know about the different kinds of Windows 10 and how they vary, we have a piece of that.

You need to agree to the licensing rules (EULA) before you can move on.

Choose the type of installation: Upgrade a current Windows (7, 8, or 10) or Custom system. Since it’s a brand-new computer, we’ll go with the second choice.

Now, you need to tell the program where to copy the Windows files. At this point, you can divide the current disc into smaller virtual discs, which is suggested for larger discs. If you only have one disc that hasn’t been made, choose it and press Next. The software will make all the necessary sections.

Setup will now start copying files from the install disc to where they will be stored permanently.

At this step, you’ll be asked again to choose your country and keyboard style. They can be different, and the choices from step 6 won’t matter. You can add more keyboard styles if you want to. To switch between them while using Windows, press WIN + Shift.

Now it’s time to choose the type of preset setup: for Personal use or Organisation, in which case a system administrator will make some settings for you. The book we’ll use as a guide is Personal.

Now, we’re going to make the first user account, which will also be the computer’s administrator. Microsoft will try to get you to use an online account, but you can also set up an account that works offline. For protection, I suggest that you set up the second one.

I didn’t remember this step, but it looks like you now have to choose 3 security questions that will help you get back into your account if you forget your password.

The next step will be privacy settings and Cortana. At this step, I turn off everything that can be turned off. But I’m working on a piece about how to turn off almost everything in Windows 10 Installation that affects your privacy, so stay tuned.

After a few moments and a couple of different screens, you’ll see the familiar Windows 10 desktop for the first time.

Conclusion

What comes next?

You can now use your computer, but you still need to set up a few things before everything is right. I’ll also write a book about that, so remember to sign up for track error to find out when that piece is ready.
