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”.
