Installing Operating
Systems OPERATING SYSTEM
An operating system, or "OS," is
software that communicates with the hardware and allows other programs to run. HOW TO INSTALL WINDOWS 10 OPERATING SYSTEM Step 1
Attach the USB flash drive or
insert the DVD on the PC where you want to install Windows 10 Step 2
Restart your PC, and then press
any key to boot from the USB flash drive or the DVD. *If you restart your PC and your current version of Windows starts, you might have to open a boot menu or change the boot order in your PC's BIOS or UEFI settings so that your PC boots from the media. To open a boot menu or change the boot order, you'll typically need to press a combination of keys (such as F2, F12, Delete, or Esc) immediately after you turn on your PC. Step 3
On the Install Windows page,
select your language, time, and keyboard preferences, and then select Next. Step 4
Click on ‘Install now’
Step 5
When you see the Activate
Windows screen, you’ll need to either enter a key or skip it. You may not see this screen if Windows 10 automatically detects a key associated with your PC’s hardware. Step 6
When you reach the “Which type
of installation do you want?” screen, click “Custom” to perform a clean installation and remove everything on your PC. Step 7
On the next screen, select the
hard drive you want to install Windows on and erase it. If you have multiple partitions on that drive, you may want to erase those as well. Warning: When you delete a partition, you’re also deleting all the files on that partition. Be sure you have backups of any important files before doing this! When you’re done erasing partitions, you should have a big block of “Unallocated Space”. Select that, click “New”, and once it’s formatted your drive, click Next. Step 8
Windows 10 will install itself, and
may restart a few times during this process. When it’s done, you’ll see the normal setup interface you see when setting up Windows 10 on any new PC, where you can add user accounts and adjust various settings. Step 9
Remember to install all last
updated drivers for your computer. Step 10
Select your region and click
“Next” Step 11
Select keyboard layout and click
“Next”
Note! You may be asked to add second keyboard layout. Step 12
Take a look for privacy setting
and disable one that you do not want to enable and click “Accept”.
